Under each heading you will find (in order): Lecture Notes that summarize the section, Teacher Tips,
Classroom Activities, and Lab Activities. Pay special attention to teaching tips, and activities geared
towards quizzing your students, enhancing their critical thinking skills, and encouraging experimentation

LECTURE NOTES
• Define a complex formula.
• Demonstrate how to create a complex formula.
• Explain the order of precedence used by Excel to determine which operation to perform first in a
complex formula.
• Discuss how you can change the order of precedence in a formula by using parentheses.
TEACHER TIP
The concept of percentages can be difficult for some students to grasp. Remind students that 20% can be
expressed as 0.2 or .2, but is not the same as 20. To illustrate this, draw a circle on the board and divide it
into fifths. Point out that one fifth is 20% and is what you get if you multiply 1 by 20% or .2. Draw 20
circles to show what the answer would be if 1 was multiplied by 20.
TEACHER TIP
Point out that to increase a number by a specific percent that number needs to be multiplied by the
percent value, which is then added to the original number. To demonstrate this, take 100 and multiply it
by 20% and then add the resulting value (20) to 100 to get 120. Note that 120 is the result when 100 is
increased by 20%.
CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES
1. Group Activity: Explore the effect of parentheses by presenting an expression, such as 3 * 4 ^ 2 - 12 /
2 + 1, evaluating it using the order of operations (43), then adding parentheses in one or more
places, such as (3 * 4) ^ 2 - 12 / (2 + 1), and reevaluating the expression (140). Note how the result
changes.
2. Quick Quiz:
1. True or False: You can change the order of precedence in a formula by using brackets. (Answer:
False)
2. In the formula 218-44/815*9, which operation will be performed first? (Answer: Division)
LECTURE NOTES
• Define functions.
• Point out that you can use the Insert Function button on the formula bar to choose a function from a
dialog box.
• Discuss how you can click the Sum button list arrow to enter some frequently used functions, such as
AVERAGE.
• Mention that you can insert a function on its own, or as part of another formula. Point out that
when using a function alone, it always begins with the formula prefix = (the equal sign).

TEACHER TIP
Remind students that the range of cells to average does not include the total in cell B12. Point out that
an incorrect value would be calculated by the Average function in cell B15 if the total was included.
TEACHER TIP
While the range B15:E15 is selected, direct the students’ attention to Average, Count, and Sum data on
the status bar. Discuss how this feature allows users to quickly see those values without adding them to
the spreadsheet.
TEACHER TIP
Using the Collapse and Expand buttons of the Insert Function dialog box can seem confusing to students
who have never used this dialog box. Make sure to demonstrate how to use these buttons using a
number of examples, and also explain how these buttons make it much easier to enter the arguments of
a function.
CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES
1. Class Discussion: Ask students why some functions are available from the Sum list arrow on the
Home tab and how they might use those functions.
2. Quick Quiz:
1. You can use the ________ button on the formula bar to choose a function from a dialog box.
(Answer: Insert Function)
2. If you use a function alone, it always begins with the ________ sign. (Answer: equal)
LAB ACTIVITIES
1. As mentioned in this lesson, there are many categories of functions, including Financial, Date &
Time, and Statistical. The Insert Function dialog box is useful not only for entering functions, but also for
finding out more about the various functions available in Excel. Ask students to choose one of these
categories and then to use the Insert Function dialog box to explore three functions within that category.
Ask students to write down the names of the three functions, their descriptions, and their structures.
2. The AVERAGE function behaves differently depending on whether there is a blank in a cell range or a
zero. Have students use Help to answer the following questions: What is the maximum number of cells
that you can average? (Answer: 255). What does the AVERAGE function actually measure? (Answer:
central tendency). If there is a blank in a cell within the range being averaged, is it converted to a zero?
(Answer: No, it is not included in the average).

»Si, au contraire de ce que j’espère, Pauline, un motif que
je ne prévois pas, mais qui cependant peut exister, vous
faisait continuer à me fuir comme vous avez essayé de le
faire jusqu’à présent, sachez bien que tout serait inutile:
partout je vous suivrais comme je vous ai suivie; rien ne
m’attache à un lieu plutôt qu’à un autre, tout m’entraîne au
contraire où vous êtes; aller au devant de vous ou marcher
derrière vous sera désormais mon seul but. J’ai perdu bien
des années et risqué cent fois ma vie et mon âme pour arriver
à un résultat qui ne me promettait pas le même bonheur.
»Adieu, Pauline! je ne vous menace pas, je vous implore;
je vous aime, vous m’aimez. Ayez pitié de vous et de moi.»
