I ended up not using for this year, but definitely see the value in incorporating it for next year. Even with directions, some of my students did the calculations manually and once they saw how to use the fill handle to copy and paste formulas they were like — that is so cool! I think having them do this first definitely shows them how spreadsheets can be valuable to them.
Thank you!
Thank you for your feedback :)
Another great resource for ice breakers! Well done!
Thank you! I am happy your students were engaged when being introduced to Excel!
