Unit 3 Computational Thinking Flashcards
Column- columns are labelled with letters
Row- rows are labelled with numbers
Cell- each cell has a unique cell reference
Each box has its own special address, like a house on a street. We find a box by looking at the column letter and the row number. So, a box might be at B3, which means it’s in the second column (B) and the third row (3).
Cell reference
These boxes can hold information. You can type numbers, words, or anything you want in them. It’s like writing in your notebook, but on the computer.
Label of a spreadsheet
A piece of text that you can add to a spreadsheet to help describe the numbers
Value of a spreadsheet
A value is a number that you can type into a spreadsheet. It is a number that you already know
Addition in spreadsheets
If you have numbers in cells A1 and B1, you add them with the formula =A1+B1.
Subtraction in spreadsheets
Similarly, you can subtract with =A1-B1.
Multiplication of spreadsheets
For multiplication, it’s =A1*B1.
Division of spreadsheets
for division, it’s =A1/B1
Using cell address
In a formal like (A1, A5) you are telling the computer to use the values in the cells
Formula using function
=Sum(A1:A5) adds up all the numbers from cell A1 to A5
=Average(B1:B10) calculates the average of the numbers in cells B1 to B10
