Microsoft+Excel

Excel is a great tool to use in the classroom not just for grading purposes, but to help the students learn about formatting and data analysis. It has many different options and can teach various mathematical concepts clearly.

Using Microsoft Excel we completed a variety of activites. We began making pictures and patterns on Excel which I have never done before. I have most of my experience in Excel from taking Finance and Accounting in high school and Personal Finance at Hope so I have more skills in the formula area rather than making images. We also made tables of numbers, graphs, and did some real life problems. Everytime I use Excel I learn something new and I think that is awesome! It was very interesting to create the car loan worksheet because that was something that will be useful for me in the next year or so when I will be buying a car. I have already been searching online with my parents for the best prices and this was very realistic for me to consider taking out a loan with 4% interest.
