Education Resources for Teachers

• Curriculum resources for Integrating Spreadsheets in Algebra I
  These resources focus on teaching eight major concepts that are typically considered in a first year algebra course in the middle grades. The activities in each concept area have been purposefully designed to guide students in building skills with spreadsheets so that they are learning to use spreadsheets as mathematical learning tools.
• EUSES Spreadsheet Problems for Teachers
  These problems have proven very useful and helpful to students so we post them here for free use among teachers. Primarily these problems are of the level of middle to high school students and feature math concepts taught through the use of spreadsheets.
• Scaffolding Math Learning with Spreadsheets - Article by Maggie Niess
  In this article, we review how these and other spreadsheets have been used in Grades: 6–12 to teach Algebra and related concepts.
