    Learning that very quickly! I will sometimes say "people think ____ graders can't do this, but I say you can! Are you up for a challenge?" and they all say YES! Love it! Diff from 4th grade. #2ndchat

    Pixel Art is a great way to introduce cells and Sheets, also conditional formatting too. @alicekeeler @PintoBeanz11 #2ndchat

  • ncarroll24 May 9 @ 8:51 PM EDT
    Works for me!!! Love having time to play around in the sheets during the chat - very clever! #2ndchat
    In reply to @LannySaretsky
  • MrsW2nd May 9 @ 8:51 PM EDT
    Super duper helpful! Thank you so much Lanny!!! When you do the 2nd sheet with adding practice, do you give them equations to work? You might have said it in your tutorial, but I couldn't hear it. #2ndchat
    In reply to @LannySaretsky, @ncarroll24
  • LannySaretsky May 9 @ 8:51 PM EDT
    Often it's a concept we're working on. ie doubles-near doubles, etc. It's a great visual for them to see in Sheets plus fun. #2ndchat
    In reply to @MrsW2nd, @ncarroll24
  • ncarroll24 May 9 @ 8:52 PM EDT
    A4: In the Random Practice - does the random number keep changing each time you click in that box? If kids think they have 1 number & it switches on them, it might be confusing. #2ndchat Just curious what you might say to the students.
  • LannySaretsky May 9 @ 8:52 PM EDT
    Thanks for joining. It was neat seeing people play around on it. #2ndchat
    In reply to @ncarroll24
  • LannySaretsky May 9 @ 8:53 PM EDT
    Keep the link or make a copy of it if it's helpful. #2ndchat
    In reply to @MrsW2nd, @ncarroll24
  • ncarroll24 May 9 @ 8:53 PM EDT
    I'm learning a lot. Hopefully, some day I'll get brave enough & format my own. You okay with us making a copy of your sheet? #2ndchat
    In reply to @LannySaretsky
  • LannySaretsky May 9 @ 8:53 PM EDT
    Too bad it would have been great to have you on board #2ndchat
    In reply to @swkreed, @ncarroll24
  • MrsW2nd May 9 @ 8:54 PM EDT
    I made a copy so I can remember it this summer! #2ndchat Thank you so much Lanny!!!
    In reply to @LannySaretsky, @ncarroll24
  • pfehlinger May 9 @ 8:54 PM EDT
    A4: Super cool math concepts to practice in a Google Sheet. I never would have thought to do it! Very visual and can't wait to try it with students! #2ndchat
  • LannySaretsky May 9 @ 8:55 PM EDT
    When I've done it each child has there own copy so it only changes when they click it not someone else. Generally my Ss got it but if someone accidentally is clicking things too much paper and pencil might be a good backup to remember the question #2ndchat
    In reply to @ncarroll24
  • ncarroll24 May 9 @ 8:56 PM EDT
    Thank you!!! Still a lot of work - but very handy! #2ndchat
