Provides information for teachers on ways to use Microsoft Excel to help students learn math concepts and to develop applications for use in the classroom.

This guide to enabling middle-grade mathematics teachers to use Microsoft Excel in the classroom focuses primarily on concepts taught in grades 4&–10, with some pre-algebra lessons for higher grades. Including files available for downloading to create custom math worksheets, build self-grading interactive spreadsheets, and use Excel to demonstrate charts and Cartesian math, this handbook provides fun examples of probability, solving equations, magic squares, and compound interest.

Integrate technology into four content areas (language arts, science, social studies, and math) by using Microsoft Excel in your classroom.

Addressing a classroom teacher's need to simultaneous manage a classroom full of students, meet state mandated assessment standards for students, and track students' performance against a rubric, this overview of Excel shows how to put its features to use immediately in a classroom. Tracking attendance, grades, and books in the school library, creating reports to share with parents at parent-teacher conference time, and teaching basic charting concepts in a mathematics class are among the possible uses of Excel covered in this guide.

Engineering professor Barbara Oakley knows firsthand how it feels to struggle with math. In her book, she offers you the tools needed to get a better grasp of that intimidating but inescapable field.

Business Math Using Excel prepares students for today's jobs by incorporating math concepts using two approaches. One approach is to teach the concepts using the traditional method of calculating. The second approach is to teach those same concepts showing how Excel would make the calculations. Business Math Using Excel helps students create formulas and use Excel's functions to make it the powerful application tool it is meant to be, and develop a high level of math skill.
