Aarnout Brombacher

Instructional Unit: Area Relationships

I have prepared a two part instructional unit on area relationships. Each part can be used as a self contained unit or the two parts can be used as complimentary activities.


Mike Callinan

Cedar Shoals Unit. This unit, called "Save or Play", was a one-day unit given to a Cedar Shoals High School Pre-Algebra class. The objective was to teach them how to manipulate equations and a variable on a spreadsheet (Microsoft Excel, in this example) and also give them a valuable lesson for their future. The spreadsheet compares two saving patterns in columns B and C, each saving annually at 5 percent interest, the amount stored in cell D1. The years are represented in column A.


Mike Callinan and Larry Shook
