Assessment opportunities. |
Plan
pupil groups and group size.
Provide focused, differentiated tasks to create, interpret
and interrogate both spreadsheet and associated graphs.
Teach/reinforce skills to use the spreadsheet:
- decide
on required data and source of data
- decide
on formulae to be used
- choose
data to be represented as a graph
- use
questions to interrogate pupils on learning outcomes
Provide
opportunities for pupils to:
- create
a list of labels and data
- use
built-in and/or created formulae
- use
Copy/Fill to quickly enter data and formulae efficiently
- create
graphs from selected data
- save,
retrieve, edit and print work
- interpret
and interrogate both the spreadsheet and associated graphs
- save
graphs and import as images into a word processor
- create
opportunities for investigations of the type: "What
would happen if...?"

| Assessment
Issues |
Assessment
of pupils' achievements.
Date their experiences and competencies. |
Can
pupils:
- create
a list of labels and data?
- use
Copy/Fill to quickly input data and formulae shortcut?
- create
graphs from selected data?
- save,
retrieve, edit and print work?
- interpret
and interrogate both the spreadsheet and associated graphs?
- save
graphs and import as images into a word processor?
- create
opportunities for investigations of the type: "What
would happen if...?" by changing the data in cells?

| Evaluation |
Judgement
of timing and use of application:
Could the task have been carried out in a more conventional
or effective way?
Was continuity and progression achieved?
Will pupils need further consolidation, reinforcement or extension
work?
Did pupils acquire expected skills in both the subject areas
supported and ICT? |
Did
the use of the computer support the topic?
Did the software enhance the chosen subject areas?
Were resources adequately prepared?
Did the activity enable pupils to keep on task?
Was there sufficient opportunity for differentiation?
Were pupils able to save, retrieve and edit work effectively?
Are pupils acquiring expected and necessary Key Skills?
Was there continuity and progression?
How suitable were the pupil groupings?
Is there need for reinforcement/consolidation or extension?
Were teaching and learning objectives met?
What, if anything, would you change when using a spreadsheet
again? |
