Objectives
 To learn how to use maximum and minimum functions in the software
Microsoft Excel.
 To learn how to create data for an existing spreadsheet model.
Aims
 Pupils will be able to use maximum and minimum functions to find out
the highest and lowest values of different calculations in a spreadsheet.
 Pupils will be able to create their own data and record the results on a
spreadsheet.
 Pupils will also be able to create graphs using the software Microsoft
Excel to display the results in their spreadsheets.
Alton Towers Park needs your help!
You need to complete Task 1 worksheet. In this task you will
develop your confidence to use Maximum and Minimum functions
to workout different mathematical calculations on an existing
spreadsheet.
You have 15mins to complete this task. Good Luck!
The English Championship Drivers need your help!
You need to complete Task 2 Group Work sheet. In this task you
will work in groups of 3’s or 4’s to create your own data to enter
into an existing spreadsheet. You will need to find out which driver
went the longest and shortest distance, and the total distance the
cars travelled on your team.
Remember
Literacy – Capital Letters and Spelling
Numeracy – Measurement in Centimetres
You have 40mins to complete this task. Good Luck!

spreadsheet. They will have also found out which car went the furthest and
shortest distance, and will have displayed the results in a graph.
Silver: They will be able to workout using maximum and minimum functions
all mathematical calculations to find the highest and smallest values. They
will have created their own data and entered the results into an existing
spreadsheet, and they will have also found out which car went the furthest
and shortest distance.
Bronze: They will be able to workout using maximum and minimum functions
some mathematical calculations to find the highest and smallest values. They
will have also created their own data and entered the results into an existing
