Lesson-Instructional Strategies & Procedures for Teacher and Students
(Detailed Plans Including Best Practices, Researched Based Strategies)



Guided Practice:
@ Open a new Spreadsheet
@ In B2 type 3 and in C2 type 5. In E5 type the formula =B2+C2
What if in B2 we change 3 to 300?

@ What if we want the spreadsheet program to do some activity if it gets a certain answer?
Let’s conduct a test.
If you are a boy stand and clap. Gambar Vektor Gratis: Anakhttp://pixabay.com/id/anak-laki-laki-bahagia-pria-147797/

If you are a girl sit and clap. of a young girl with herhttp://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Adolf_Pirsch_Portrait_of_a_young_girl_with_her_dog_by_the_sea.jpg

Now let’s say it a different way.
The test is IF you are a boy, if yes stand and clap, if not sit and clap.

Why learn IF statements?
Besides spreadsheets, if statements are used in video games.

Open the PowerPoint called Excel IF statements explained
@ How would we write the above example as an if function?

Independent Exercise:
@ =IF(Logical test is true, then, else)  
@ =IF(you are a boy, stand and clap, sit and clap)
@ LISTEN before you color!
@ Students will underline the logical test (what you are looking for) in red
                will underline the if true statement in green and
                will underline the if false statement in blue.
                   will highlight the =IF and () and , in yellow

If time:
@ Students will complete the Practice with IF statements on page 13.
Remember words need to have quotation marks around them AND
    all formulas and functions start with an equal sign.
    For example: =IF(A5="Carrot","Vegetable","Amphibian")

@ Miss W will review more advance Spreadsheet functions like:
@ Open the Bonus this month if statement file.
