Spreadsheets in the Classroom

I hope to teach any grade from 3-5 when I graduate college and I feel as though spreadsheets will surely come in handy. I hope to use them with numerous math projects for I feel as though they are a great visual to use, especially to find mean median and mode. It will also be a great help for activities when we take different surveys or polls, which I plan to do a lot of. Spreadsheets are especially hopeful to younger children because it breaks down a lot of information that can be read in a short amount of time for any subject. Its something the students can do hands on, on their own time and makes the lesson plans easier to comprehend, having all the material in front of you on one sheet. Any visual is a good idea to incorporate into your classroom!
