Using a Computer to Make <strong>Number</strong> <strong>Grids</strong><br />
Students may learn a great deal about number patterns by making their own number grids<br />
on a computer. This is a relatively simple process using a word processing package with a<br />
table feature. For example, using the Microsoft Word package:<br />
1. Click on the Table option on the menu bar.<br />
2. Choose the Insert Table option.<br />
3. Enter the number of rows and columns<br />
desired. For example, 10 rows and 10<br />
columns will produce a 100-square grid.<br />
You may need to adjust the height and<br />
width of the cells to enhance the<br />
appearance of your grid.<br />

5. Borders and shading may be added to<br />
show any patterns.<br />
6. Set challenges.<br />
• Make a number spiral.<br />
• Make different sized grids.<br />
• Make a grid that starts at 27 and<br />
finishes at .<br />
