Mathematical activities using spreadsheets
Constructing, using and understanding spreadsheets is a vital skill for all pupils. In mathematics, it provides a powerful and engaging tool to explore areas of interest without the need to perform laborious calculations. This book - designed for upper Primary and lower Secondary school pupils - brings these two benefits together into a practical and motivating format.
It starts by setting up a situation; either drawn from the world outside the classroom or from a simple but resonant area of mathematics. Questions are then posed, that may be explored in a spreadsheet. Each spread of the book is devoted to a single topic and is set out as photocopiable sheets (which are also on the accompanying CD) for students, together with detailed notes for teachers, containing spreadsheet models and data sets.
