**"Google Forms" in Mathematics**
Ideas for using Google Forms in mathematics: >
 * Ideas from [|AHS Google Forms]
 * How to [|Google Forms] in the classroom

//**Formative Assessment:**// Learn how to use Google Forms to assess background knowledge. Embed the into a blog or wiki and have students fill answer basic questions, this gives great starting point for lessons. It can also be simple formative assessment.

//**Example:**//

I posed a mathematical problem to my class and asked them to fill out a google form before they began solving the problem (at a later date). The google form asked them if they understood particular elements of the problem. The forms were quickly submitted with the information telling me what the students did/didn't know when trying to solve the problem. I was then able to support particular students during the 'problem solving' session. I was also more aware of the concepts that needed to be covered by the whole class before they moved into pairs to work on the problem.

//**Self Evaluation:**// Create a form for student/unit self-evaluations/evaluations

//**Exit Slip:**// Use as an exit ticket on days we the students use computers during math - create a quick assessment to find out if the student/s understand the objective.

**"Google Spread Sheet" in Mathematics**
Using Spreadsheets in Mathematics is a great way for kids to explore relationships among decimals, fractions and percentages. One idea would be for the teacher to ask students to brainstorm on an average person’s day: sleep, eat, watch television, etc. Have the students open a Google Spreadsheet and put these activities in the first column. In the second column, they can put in the number of hours spent doing each activity in a day. The spreadsheet actually requires them to use decimal format, instead of fractions. They can then practice how to convert minutes to hours. After this, students can turn the data into graphs using Excel’s “chart wizard.”
