LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET # 4

TITLE: Introduction to Google Sheets

WHAT IS GOOGLE SHEETS? Google Sheets allows you to organize, edit, and
analyze different types of information using spreadsheets. You can used for a variety of
everyday tasks. Whether you're starting a budget, planning a garden, or creating an
invoice or just about anything else you can think of, spreadsheets are a great way to
organize information. In this lesson, you'll learn about the different ways you might use
spreadsheets and how to navigate the Google Sheets interface. You'll also learn the
basic ways to work with cells and cell content, including how to select cells, insert
content, and copy and paste cells.

You can use spreadsheets to:

1. Compute the Grades 5. Calculate exercise statistics.
2. Organize a field trip 6. Manage requests.
3. Budget Plan 7. Create an invoice.
4. Gather Contact information

Three ways to create a new Google Spreadsheet:

1. Sheets.google.com
2. Waffle Icon
3. Google Drive

GOOGLE SHEETS INTERFACE

In order to use and edit spreadsheets, you will need to become familiar with the Google Sheets interface.
A. Google Sheets Icon - Click this icon to navigate back to your Google Sheets homepage.
B. Spreadsheet Title - By default, any new spreadsheet is named Untitled Spreadsheet.
C. Toolbar Menu - to edit and modify your spreadsheet in various ways.
D. Shortcut Toolbar - provides convenient shortcut buttons for formatting the data in your spreadsheet, like
font size, text alignment, and text color.
E. Collaboration Options - allow you to share your spreadsheet with others and make comments as you work.
F. Formula Bar - to enter and edit data, functions, and formulas for a specific cell.
G. Cell - is the rectangle and the intersection of a row and a column.
H. Column - is a group of cells that runs vertically from top to bottom. Columns are identified by letters.
I. Row - is a group of cells that runs horizontally from side to side. Rows are identified by numbers.
J. Sheets Toolbar - Every spreadsheet can have multiple sheets. Select the sheet tabs to navigate among
sheets, and click the plus sign (+) to add a new sheet.

CELL BASICS
Every spreadsheet is made up of thousands of rectangles, which are called cells. A cell is the intersection of
a row and a column. Columns are identified by letters (A, B, C), while rows are identified by numbers (1, 2, 3).

Each cell has its own name—or cell address—

based on its column and row. In this example,
the selected cell intersects column C and row
10, so the cell address is C10.

You can also select multiple cells at the same

time. A group of cells is known as a cell range.
Rather than a single cell address, you'll refer to
a cell range using the cell address of the first
and last cells in the cell range, separated by a
colon. For example, a cell range that included
cells A1, A2, A3, A4, and A5 would be written
as A1:A5.

In the images below, two different cell ranges

are selected:

Cell range A2:A8 Cell range A2:B8

UNDERSTANDING CELL CONTENT

Any information you enter a spread-
sheet will be stored in a cell. Each cell
can contain several different types of
content, including text, formatting,
formulas, and functions.

*Text: Cells can contain text, such as

letters, numbers, and dates.

*Formatting attributes: Cells

can contain formatting attributes
that change the way letters,
numbers, and dates
are displayed.

For example, percentages can

appear as 0.15 or 15%. You can
even change a cell's
background color.

*Formulas and functions: Cells can contain formulas and functions

that calculate cell values. In our example, SUM(B2:B8) adds the
value of each cell in cell range B2: B8 and displays the total in cell
B9.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this module, the students are expected to:
a. define Google Sheets, including the parts and the basic ways to work with cells and cell content,
b. realize the importance and uses of Google Sheets in our everyday tasks.
c. construct a personal schedule based on their responsibilities inside and outside the school.

EXERCISES
