Since I teach 5 th grade mathematics, I selected lessons from the 5 th -6 th grade state of Ohio Math Curriculum framework. I created a web page that consists of a lesson that teaches an existing curriculum outcome and integrates the use of computer technology. Our society thrives on information. Magazines and TV news shows broadcast results of the latest polls. Telemarketers and junk mailers pay for lists of names, addresses, and phone numbers of prospective customers.
People call and show up at our doors asking survey questions.
Someone or something has to tally the results and arrange the data in some meaningful format so we can use it. This something is a database. A database is a collection of data. You can create databases in Excel by typing entries in worksheet cells and in Word by creating a table. Considering the information in the database, I created a series of questions that might be asked and answered using this query page .
