This document outlines the learning outcomes and activities for a spreadsheet modeling lesson. By the end of the lesson, students will use a spreadsheet model to answer questions, understand how inputs can affect outputs, and be able to change variables and explain the impacts. The lesson will involve modeling by changing costs and seeing how the total changes, creating graphs and charts to visualize profit and loss results, and doing a self-evaluation of their spreadsheet work.
2. Learning outcomes
By the end of today’s lesson;
• All students will use their spreadsheet
model to answer questions (level 3)
• Most students will understand how inputs
can effect outputs in a spreadsheet model
(level 4)
• Some students will be able to change
variables within their spreadsheet and
explain the impact (level 5)
3. Modelling
One of the main reasons that
spreadsheet are used is to perform
modelling activities.
This is when we change the cost of one
item and the total cost changes.
4. Graphs and Charts
To have a more visible view of how much money we
have we can create graphs and charts.
This shows us very clearly if we are in profit or loss.
You will need to create at least 2 graphs to display
your results. You should include;
• At least a bar chart and pie chart,
• Good labels and titles,
• Appropriate colours,
5. Review Learning
Using the Self Evaluation task on Jogle
you will need to give yourself a WWW
and EBI for your spreadsheet work.
