A resource that uses Excel Spreadsheets with embedded PowerPoints to allow students to explore ‘number stories’ based on two simple number sequences. One looks at the Fibonnaci sequence and uses Excel to calculate the sequence and create a pie chart that reflects a Fibonnaci spiral. The other looks at the ‘One Grain of Rice’ story and uses Excel to calculate the number of rice grains, bowls, etc.

A Spreadsheet designed to use ICT to explore number sequences and exponential growth. The Spreadsheet uses the idea of the Fibonacci sequence and the ‘One Grain of Rice’ story, to explore students’ understanding of number sequences and exponential growth, whilst practising their Excel skills.
