Module # 4.1.1

Understand the concept of a spreadsheet and relate a print spreadsheet to an electronic spreadsheet

Getting there

So here goes. The item below is a spreadsheet:

Are you impressed yet?  So this is a print spreadsheet.  It contains information in a MATRIX form.  Each ROW below the top one (that is the HEADER ROW) contains information on one student.  We know they are students by the title in the header row.
    Notice that each COLUMN contains similar information.  This is a properly formatted spreadsheet.  If it were more complex, it might have averages and sums. 

Electronic spreadsheets are the same.  They contain information, but they do the calculations for you.  They both are used for numeric information.
