5th Grade: Excel Number Formats

The goal of this exercise is to learn how different number formats affect the appearance of cells in Excel.

Please follow the instructions in the attached PDF file below.

4th Grade Multiplication Table

  • Use the asterisk * to multiply cells.
  • Instead of numbers, use cell references; the cell column letter and row number.
  • Always begin a formula with the equal = sign.
  • When you use the fill handle to fill a formula into adjoining cells, the cell references in the formula change in a relative manner.
  • To lock a row or column in place, precede it with a dollar sign $.

The formula entered in cell B2,
=B$1*$A2
will result in the product of cells B1 and A2, but row 1 and column A will be locked so that they will remain constant in the multiplication table when the fill handle is used to calculate the entire multiplication table.
