Mayflower by the Numbers

Posted on November 19, 2012 By Tom 2 Comments on Mayflower by the Numbers
EdTech

Plymouth Colony

I had posted a link to this activity once before. This is from a presentation I gave at an EdTech conference nearly a decade ago. It’s probably too late for a teacher to use for this Thanksgiving, but I thought it was time to pull it out of mothballs once again…

The original Mayflower by the Numbers activity was hosted on one of our school servers. I’ve updated it with Google Docs and have moved to my own Workshops Google site.

Here’s the lesson as an embedded Google Doc…

…and here is the associated Google Spreadsheet…

UPDATE: One of my Facebook friends posted this image, and I though it would be appropriate here…

    Very interesting exercise. What better way to show how brutal the first year in America was than to have students see with their own eyes how many of the Mayflower’s passengers died in 1621.
