Excel+Projects

These Excel projects were supposed to teach us how to use equations and make graphs in Excel. The first one is about all of the Presidents of the United States. We used that one as a practice to learn how the equations and graphs actually work. The Gradebook project was to see if we could create a spreadsheet using what we were supposed to learn from the Presidents spreadsheet. We were given grades for some studetns that could possibly in our classroom and we had to use our judgement on what would be the best kind of graph that went with it. I think a spreadsheet like the Presidents one would be good to help teach students how equations in Excel work while using some information that they may be learning in class. The Gradebook spreadsheet would be a good thing for teachers to learn how to use because it calculates the final grade very easily and it is very easy to make changes on a computer spreadsheet as opposed to a written gradebook.

Here are the links to the spreadsheets:





While doing these projects, I was able to refine skills using Excel that I kind of already knew how to do, but not completely. These assignments allowed me to get creative with the graphs, as well as learn the features of the newest version of Excel, something that is sure to come in handy later on in my life.
