About

Worked with a spreadsheet before? There is a lot you can do with a spreadsheet like Google Sheets. One of the main benefits of Sheets is that, in addition to write formulas and standard functions like SUM, AVERAGE, and more, you can use Sheets to manipulate data and save it in various formats. Those formats include Excel, Coma-Delimited (CSV), and other common file types. With Sheets, you can organize and sort data in columns with numbers or alphabetically (descending or ascending order). Google Sheets files serve as workbooks with multiple sheets to separate data. More functionality is available using Add-Ons.

While you can share Sheets for collaboration, you can also restrict users with the Protect sheets/ranges of cells option.

Visit the Google Help Center for additional information.

Ready to setup a quick budget for your classroom? Your principal has asked for you to identify how much of your own money you're spending on your students and classroom.

• Create a spreadsheet that captures your classrooms expenses (e.g. money you've spent on stuff)...
• ...figuring out the sum total as well as
• the average amount you have spent per student over the year.
• Create a graph that shows your investment over time (e.g. line graph) or where you are spending most of your funds (e.g. pie chart).
• Share the chart with your team.

Bonus: Insert it into a Google Doc draft email to your principal explaining what's happening.
