Part #3 – Working with Numbers

Before you can begin this challenge, you have to understand how Numbers works. Numbers is a spreadsheet program. It uses TABLES to create CHARTS and GRAPHS. I am going to demonstrate this both on the SMARTBoard as well as your screen.

Make sure you pay attention.

You will have to set up your document exactly as I show you.

Part #4 – Start Task #1

If you are reading this, then you have already set up your Numbers document and are ready to go find the information. If you are not all set, ask now!!!!

You now need to go find the distances for each leg. In a second, I am going to demonstrate exactly what I mean.

If you are reading this, then you know exactly what you need to do.
