The lesson I found online involving Excel turned the 12 Days of Christmas song into a song about the 12 Days of Middle School and required the students to use an Excel spreadsheet to determine how much Middle School would cost according to the song. The students had to figure out how to make Excel do all of the math for them to add up the costs for all 12 days. My guess is this would be used in a Middle School Classroom because it would be relevant to these students. They are having to multiply, add, and total the cost of Middle School. Although my guess is all of the students at this level would be able to do these calculations by hand, they are learning how to save time and use Excel as a tool to do it for them. This would be a great lesson for a teacher to use in December when students are getting antsy about their Winter break. My guess is this would be used in a Middle School Classroom
