Lesson Objective : Using a formula to add the value of 2 cells
All formula begins with a equals sign.
Operators in spreadsheets (+, -, *, /)
Learning Outcome : Download and open the spreadsheet file, The Gold Mine.
The Big Picture
What have we done? We learned about cells and cell references
What are we doing? We are going to use formula to add the value of 2 cells
What are we going? We will use spreadsheets to make lots of calculations
A spreadsheet program is made up of a large table, called a sheet.
Each cell has a cell reference. The cell reference is the column letter followed by the row number. The cell reference for the green cell below is B3.
Spreadsheet Operators : Multiplication and division is different from conventional Maths operators.
Addition (Plus): +
Subtraction (Minus): –
Multiplication (Times): *
Division (Divide By): /
How to find MS Excel on your computer. Select the windows button on the bottom left of the screen and search for Excel. Select the correct version.
This week’s task
Note : You may need to select Enable Editing
Instructions
Work out the answers to various calculations and if they are right, the cells will automatically turn gold.
You can enter formulae into cells to help work out the answers.
All formulae must begin with an = (equals) sign
See example in D7;
=B7+C7 will add the numbers of the 2 cells together
If you finish, you can go to level 2
Success Criteria
Success : I can complete a level of the Gold Mine, adding and subtraction
Super Success : I can also do multiplication and division
Extra Success : I can complete the move ahead to next week’s task, Recap Challenge
Extra Task: Recap Challenge
