AIM: Students will return to the Excel lesson packets and revisit the "spreadsheet" environment and will be able to enter basic formulas for calculation.
LP: Today we will return to the packets for our initial lessons in Excel. We will go back to the worksheet, which became our spreadsheet environment and enter data and formulas as directed. We will discuss first what we gained from the Chart Exercise, and how we might use charts in the future, and we will quickly review what we have done with spreadsheets and formulas, prior to returning to the packets for our next exercise.
The research of Teen topics for statistical/data to prepare more charts in the future, is an ongoing project right now. Continue it for homework.
