Excel Chart Types Activity

This resource can be used during a lesson with Excel Charts. It is useful to become familiar with different chart types and their application. The activities can be carried out individually, in pairs or in teams. It is always more fun to team up, as two heads are better than one and lots of discussion can be generated.

Files are available in both pdf and docx format for editing if required.
