Learn how to do inequalities for math class using Excel and Word with a braille display–for a complete assignment that can be emailed to teacher when done. Additionally, we will cover tips on creating accessible math graphs to ensure all students can engage with the material effectively.
This video Instruction focuses on teaching math problems, specifically inequalities and graphing, using Excel. First, they direct the students to create a template with a number line. The students then insert information using less than and greater than symbols. For instance, to show a less than symbol, they use nine dashes, with each dash representing a unit. Also try Desmos for graphing online.
Next, the students insert bullets. If they have a numpad, they use Alt+7 for a hollow bullet and Alt+9 for a solid bullet. If not, they manually insert symbols via the insert menu. The students place the bullets on the number line, ensuring they are centered by putting four dashes on each side of the bullet.
To perfectly center the number, the students use the applications key and select the center alignment option or CTRL + E. After completing their problems, they select their work with Shift+Right Arrow and copy it using CTRL+ C. They then paste it into a Microsoft Word document with Ctrl+N and Ctrl+V.
Finally, for creating accessible Math Graphs, the students format their work by navigating through the formatting options with the right arrow key. This process allows blind students to create graphs and inequalities just like their sighted peers. The results are impressive, with perfectly centered number lines and accurately represented inequalities. The more you practice, the closer you become to being an expert in excel.
