Spreadsheet Superpowers: a 6 lesson unit that makes data skills click
Transform your spreadsheet lessons with this practical 6 lesson unit for Computing and Digital Literacy classes. Spreadsheet Superpowers is designed to build real confidence with Excel and spreadsheets using relatable scenarios and step by step modelling so every learner can succeed.
Every lesson is fully planned and ready to teach, so non-specialists and busy teachers can deliver with confidence. Students do not just type numbers into boxes. They learn how to organise real world information, use formulas and functions to answer questions and present findings clearly with charts.
This unit takes pupils from the basics of clean data tables and cell references through to functions, data validation and conditional formatting. It finishes with a realistic client brief where students apply everything they have learned to build a spreadsheet solution that answers genuine questions.
Designed for Microsoft Excel. It can be adapted for Google Sheets, although some images and step by step instructions may need to be adjusted.
