- The activity sheets CHIRK1 and CHIRK2 allow students to examine a document

- Spreadsheet Task
-
- The final question encourages students to use a spreadsheet to convert units
- of capacity and money into modern measurements. By doing this they are more
- likely to gain an understanding of the numbers involved. The spreadsheet
- file ACCOUNTS is provided in Key Calc format. For schools not using Key Calc,
- two other files are provided. ACCCSV, if dropped onto cell A1 of an open
- spreadsheet, should put the correct text into the correct cells.
- Unfortunately, formulas cannot be held in this way and need to be entered by
- the teacher. These, together with an illustration of the spreadsheet, are
- held in the activity sheets SSTEM1 and SSTEM2. You may need to substitute
- some characters in the formulas depending on which spreadsheet you are using.
- For example, some spreadsheets use ";" or ":" instead of "," between cell
- references in formulas. If things don't work, check your software manual for
- the right syntax.
