This is your spreadsheet. Click any cell, type numbers, words, or formulas (start with =). Try things like:
=5+3— basic math=A1+B1— add two cells=SUM(A1:A5)— add up a range=AVERAGE(B1:B4)— find the average
For Teachers
🚀 Getting started
This is a single self-contained HTML file. There is nothing to install and no student accounts to create.
- Put the file on a shared drive, your LMS, or a flash drive, and have students open it in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari.
- Works on desktops, laptops, Chromebooks, and tablets.
- Progress is held for the session only. Closing the tab resets XP and badges, which makes it easy to reuse across classes.
- Students who have never touched a computer should begin at Mission 1. Students who already know the basics can start at Mission 5.
