Accountants at Work!

Learning how to work around Microsoft Excel was a challenge for the Grade 6 students but they did a brilliant job!

They learnt the basic functions needed to use this program. They understood how to add data and work around it. They learnt what is a cell and that each cell contains alphanumeric text, numeric values, or formulas.  They managed to use and create simple formulas too. The program's ability to re-calculate the entire sheet automatically when edited was for the student "really cool!" 

Definitely a successful link to understanding queries and values in Maths. Spreadsheets have now replaced paper-based systems throughout the business world so why not prepare our future generation for it.

They worked on this program by calculated camping trips, a visit to the moon and many more events they came across! 


Well done!
