Microsoft Excel is a popular spreadsheet program that allows you to import, organize, and explore data sets quickly and easily. In this workshop we worked through a variety of different mathematics activities using Excel. These activities included a basic introduction to data entry and presentation, examples using a random number generator in simulation, how to graph one- and two-dimensional functions, how to use sliders to vary parameters in a function and display the results in a graph, and how to build a model of Mount Desert Island from a contour map.
Below is a link to a variety of resources that will provide you with the opportunity to use Microsoft Excel in your classroom.
