Lesson Material

[rudekid]

Hi

I've agreed to do a presentation at my mate's school to a class of kids in year 6/7 about work - she's having lots of people come in and talk about their jobs.

I work in finance but wanted to do something involving Excel that will get the kids excited about spreadsheets and give them something that they can apply to stuff they are doing at school. I was thinking of giving them an example spreadsheet with a few formula and some logic based problems for them to tackle.

Anyone got any ideas / suggestions / material for this kind of a tutorial?

Thanks
Nick

Show them some magic tricks in Excel

So that they find Excel fun and not boring. Use version 2003 and 2007 because it has more color in it.

Make an example that involves words and manipulate them somehow...
