Excel is so cool! It can also be used as a calculator. Click on this link to check out the different ways you can perform calculations.  The key take-away is knowing that we type the = sign first and when it comes to multiplication calculations we use the * (shift 8).














Check It Out: 
Use Excel to solve your 7 times tables (or another difficult set of tables). You can then continue to collect data for other times-tables and update your Excel work-book. (Remember your work should be in your MS365 account).


Do Your Best: 
Are you ready to play?



Extension Task: 
Make sure you take a screenshot of your scores as evidence. If you have completed your x2s, x10s and x7s you can take a screenshot of your work and paste it into your spreadsheet.


Finally Fun! 
Once you have finished head over to your coding or keyboarding course.
