Spreadsheets from SMILE
This resource from SMILE Mathematics contains 20 activities for using spreadsheets to solve mathematical problems in the classroom, rather than gaining spreadsheet skills in the computer room. By encouraging students to use spreadsheets when appropriate to the mathematics, they can be an aid to the development of mathematical thinking. Students should begin working with pencil, paper and a calculator, to allow them to get an understanding of the problem before using a spreadsheet to generate some results for analysis.
