Teacher Guidance
Suggested method of delivery:
This lesson builds on the previous lesson which looked at performing calculations in a spreadsheet. As such, the lesson should start with a review of what students learned last lesson.
Most of this task should be self-explanatory and students should be able to follow the instructions on the worksheet. The key area in which they may need assistance is in drawing the chart. To do this accurately they will need to select the data for the chart by holding down the CTRL button to ensure their graph does not include undesired data.
As extenstion and plenary students should play the activities within the KS3 Spreadsheets topic (share code 907795 to unlock this).
