Increase the wideness of course content

Because spreadsheets can be used to quickly solve complicated

mathematical models, several authors have suggested that more

complicated topics In individual disciplines, spreadsheets have been used to

teach mathematics and introductory physics

Show Examples

Increase the depth of course content

Sometimes data sets are too large or models are too complicated to allow important exploration with just a pencil, paper and calculator. Using spreadsheets allows for a variety of scenarios to be explored quickly . spreadsheets can help develop skills in teaching science, technology, engineering and mathematics from the basic to advanced level.

Improve critical thinking skills

A number of studies have suggested that using the spreadsheet platform can also enhance critical thinking skills.

Improve quantitative literacy

Any course that uses tables of data, equations, graphs, or based on quantitative information provides an opportunity for students to enhance fluency in quantitative methods.

Physical involvement of students

Constructing and using spreadsheet models forces students to "get their hands dirty." That is, when students directly interact with a model or data, they maybe able to understand it better than they would by taking in a lecture or reading a text. Research has suggested that students learn more when they are engaged with research, and that creative use of technology can support this process.
