Began with general discussion about types of applications which the pupils had experience
- Word Processing (Word)
- Presentation (PowerPoint)
- Browser (IE, Firefox, Chrome, Safari)
- Email (Outlook, Hotmail)
Looked at MS Office and identified an unknown application -- Excel
Opened the application - introduced terminology
- Spreadsheet
- Row
- Column
- Cell - naming of cells
- Block
- Data types
- text
- numbers
- formula
Created a 'calculator' using the software
Demonstrated use of formula to make spreadsheet add numbers- pupils then extrapolated the formulae for subtraction, multiplication and division
Introduced division sign as forward slash (/) and division sign as a star (*)
Demonstrated sum function to add all results together
