What if we had 30 years of data and we wanted to find the
highest or MAXIMUM number in the data? We could look at
thousands of numbers or we could use the MAX function.

Lesson-Instructional Strategies & Procedures for Teacher and Students
(Detailed Plans Including Best Practices, Researched Based Strategies)
|
Guided Lesson:
Open a new Excel spreadsheet
We will type out a formula =F2+F3+F4+F5 and then we type out function to see how functions are shortcuts. =Sum(F2:F5)
It is important to understand the parts of a function (equals sign, function name, parentheses, beginning of the range, colon, ending of the range and parentheses).
Open the Understanding Functions Word document
Open up the "Functions goes with youtube" file.
Excel 2010 Tutorial- Functions
1 min to 3 min Functions
3 mins to 4:30 mins Range
4:30 mins to 8:30 mins Practice
Stop at Count function at 8:30 mins
Open the Spreadsheet Vocabulary file
Slides 35 through 41 (functions)
Open up the Hurricane file.
Class practice of Hurricane sheet using functions
We are going to practice inserting the following FUNCTIONS or shortcuts:
Sum- adds all of the numbers in a range
Max- finds the largest number in a range
Min- finds the lowest number in a range
Average- calculates the average of a range of numbers
Count- counts the numbers of entries in a range
Independent Activity:
@ Spreadsheet flashcard 32 calculates averages
@ Additional function practice as needed.
Homework:
Students need to decide for which ACADEMIC topic
(Typing Posture/Technique, Language Arts, Science,
Social Studies, or Math) they will create a
PowerPoint presentation soon. We will be using the
PowerPoint you create to learn different old and new
features of PowerPoint 2010.
