US Grade 4 - 7
Beginner - Intermediate Level
During this class, students will learn the basic functions of Microsoft Excel and get hands-on practice. This class will not only teach the basics of Excel, but it will excite students to discover ways they can use Excel in their everyday lives. This is a "Self-Paced" class, so there are no live sessions. Students will have access to four pre-recorded lessons that I created exclusively for Outschool. During the recording, I share my screen so students can watch me using Excel as I describe its functions. Learners are encouraged to use Excel as they watch the recording, so that they can follow along and gain hands-on practice. After the learner has completed a recording and created the Excel file described, they can submit it to me for review. Next, there will be a recommended activity to add to the file in order to reinforce the skills the learner learned during the most recent recording. For a detailed lesson plan, please see the "Syllabus" section. Topics covered will include: • Vocabulary (cell, column, row, worksheet, formula, budget, sum) • Organizing data • Gridlines • Formatting cells (color, font, currency, time) • SUM, COUNT, and AVERAGE functions • Multiplication, Subtraction, Division, Addition formulas • Sorting and filtering cells • Pie, bar, and line graphs Students do not need any experience with Excel, but should have basic desktop or laptop knowledge, such as the ability to use a mouse, use a keyboard and open a program.
Learning Goals
At the end of the class, students will be able to name parts of an Excel worksheet, input information into cells, format cells, use the sum function, input a multiplication formula, sort, filter, and create graphs.

over 4 WeeksLesson 1:
Create a Schedule
I'll begin by discussing real-world uses for Excel and related vocabulary. I'll then dive in and begin using the program. Learners will imagine they are planning a trip to Disney. We'll use Excel to create a vacation schedule. Topics covered will include organizing data, formatting cells, auto-populating, and saving the file.
Lesson 2:
Add to Your Schedule
Learners will post their own additions to their schedule.
Lesson 3:
Create a Budget
Learners will imagine they are throwing their family member a birthday party! We will use Excel to create a party budget. New topics covered will include formatting for currency, sorting, using sum function, and writing a multiplication formula.
Lesson 4:
Add to Your Budget
Learners will add three additional items to their budgets and share why they added these items and their costs.
