| Spreadsheets in Maths Book 1 is an introduction to spreadsheets and their usefulness as mathematical and analytical tools. The work sheets are based on Microsoft Excel®, but they can also be used with other spreadsheet programs.
Students can work through the activities on each work sheet at their own pace by following the step-by-step instructions on spreasheet techniques and referring to the useful illustrations and screen dumps from the spreadsheet program. Once students have learnt a new technique, they are encouraged to apply their new skills through the Practice Time section.
