A great way to introduce Apple’s Numbers program or Microsoft’s Excel program is to have students paint cells within a spreadsheet. Students will use the Format tool and fill the cells with colors to create a picture. Additionally, it’s a great way to reinforce columns, rows, or coordinates. Once students get finished with this, I always have students that want to create their own pictures by filling the cells with colors. This example below is using Numbers to create a jack-o-lantern, but this can easily be modified if you are an Excel user.

Use the handout to create this pumpkin.
Under the Format tool, click on the cell tab to fill a cell or cells with a color.
Hope this gives you some fun pumpkin inspiration all while learning how to use a new technology tool with your students! 🎃
