About our Labs
Our labs work well in face-to-face classes as well as fully online or hybrid settings. Labs can pair with a traditional textbook or serve as a stand-alone text. Each lab includes a detailed summary of key statistical concepts, video explanations of the material and video tutorials that walk students through computational steps in Microsoft Excel.
Video Tutorials
Video tutorials walk students through the computational steps of each lab in Microsoft Excel. Students follow along with the video tutorial and then complete similar analyses for different data-sets. Unlike in a traditional lab or classroom setting, students can learn at their own pace and repeat instructional material as needed. Students develop self-efficacy and self-confidence as they improve their computational skills through hands-on learning.
Quotes from Students
“The videos were very helpful when doing the labs.”
“Being able to manipulate and visualize the computations I was performing was the key.”
“My favorite lab was the one with the cards. That one was a little tough conceptually for me and I found it challenging. I did not have a least favorite.”
“I didn’t know how to use Microsoft Excel for math at all previously. I also became more comfortable using the graphs section.”
“I honestly thought the Savannah Math Labs course materials were very instructive and straightforward. The video tutorials were the most helpful tool in the lab and extremely easy to follow.”
“I believe completing the labs helped me tremendously in improving my Microsoft Excel skills. I have learned how to apply charts and use formulas in Microsoft Excel.”
“My favorite lab was the first one where we were able to make the different types of graphs. I did not have a least favorite.”
“The video tutorials were really easy to follow and very well made, they coincided perfectly with the lab questions.”
A solid foundation
At Savannah Math Labs, LLC we build mathematical foundational learning while developing technological skills. Each lab has a computational as well as a conceptual component. After completing the computational steps, students reflect on results they have obtained and interpret their results.
