Finding, judging and recording

A spreadsheet is a grid of rows and columns, a bit like a school timetable. Rows go across and columns go down. You write names and numbers in the boxes, and the spreadsheet can add the numbers for you, which is why it is often used for numbers. A word processor is for writing: you write your ideas, change how they look, add pictures and join your report to other information. They make a team: collect your data in the spreadsheet first, then explain it in the word processor. If you have no computer, draw the grid on squared paper and add the numbers yourself.
