How to Use Microsoft Excel
This resource introduces learners to microsoft excel and what it is used for.
It starts off with basics and shows cells, columns and rows and how these are identified and accessed.
It engages learners with this through the use of games e.g.
-cell art where they have to fill the cell with the correct colour and make the picture.
-cell mine field which they play with a partner (like battleships)
cell bingo (there is a linked spinning wheel with all cells ref)
Finally it leads children up to a mini project where they plan and budget a dinner for their family. They can use the internet or magazines to get prices or simply make them up. They must record their costs, quantities etc on their spreadsheet. For more challenge, I introduced more confident learners with simple formulas to calculate their totals.
