Keywords: Undergraduate Level, K-12 Level, Function, Spreadsheet

This workshop is organized as a hands-on seminar. In addition to

PowerPoint presentation and demonstration of sample problems, the

participants will be expected to play with their calculators and

simulate the lecturer’s procedures. During the workshop, the usage

of CASIO ClassPad 300 Spreadsheet Tool will be demonstrated. It will

be shown that its calculation power is sufficient for understanding

mathematical functions and how functions can help us better

understand our environment and our daily life.
