12.01 Spreadsheets and Math and ScienceWe haven't really looked at the use of spreadsheets in math and science but this is one of the places where they are used the most. The two links below will take you to the Center for Technology and Teacher Education. There are a lot of math/science related spreadsheet activities here. Choose one activity that interests you, complete it and post your results here. In addition to posting your completed activity - give us a brief explanation of why using a spreadsheet to teach this concept would be important. <ul> <li><a href="http://www.teacherlink.org/content/m...tiveexcel.html">Interactive Spreadsheet Activities</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.teacherlink.org/content/m...ies/excel.html">Excel Activities</a> - you can't do the first two on this page because you've already done similar in this class.</li> </ul>
