This CD-ROM, developed for grades 5 through 10, teaches students what spreadsheets are and how to use them in everyday life.

Each spreadsheet also provides an online notebook, enabling students to take notes as they work on their spreadsheet or to place electronic stickers onto the spreadsheet. Results are displayed with animated illustrations and sound effects, providing students with immediate feedback and positive reinforcement. Each tutorial focuses on specific skills.
