The Secret Powers of Spreadsheets...in the classroom

Of all the tools discussed in helping to create a well informed classroom, spreadsheets probably have the most uses in the math classroom. The most common use of this tool is to organize data and create charts and graphs, but that is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to this powerful tool. However, it is up to the user to discover what these uses are. This makes the spreadsheet the ultimate tool for discovery, practice, and an excellent form of assessment. When experimenting with a prepared spreadsheet, it was amazing to see the different ways you can manipulate it to serve your own individual needs. It is a great resource to have in the classroom and in life.
