A model is a representation. A model imitates the conditions of a real
event.A model allows us to ask What if? And test
it!

What if the plane landed too quickly?
What if the driver goes around that bend at 120 mph?

We are learning to solve problems using a spreadsheet model
What I am looking for is students who can interrogate (question) a model to find answers
This is because using a model can help you to make decisions

•A spreadsheet is a computer programme which allows you to create a number of models
•Spreadsheets can make it easy to display information. They do this by organising data into columns and rows. Look at the zoo model as a spreadsheet
•Spreadsheets use formulas to make calculations
•People use spreadsheet programs to ask What if…? Questions. Look at this model
•Spreadsheets are extremely useful in everyday life and can produce graphs or charts to help visualise your results. Look at this financial spreadsheet

So how did you do?
LEVEL 3 LEVEL 4 LEVEL 5
I have entered numbers and text in cells on a spreadsheet model
I have used formatting to improve the way they look
I used a spreadsheet model to answer some questions
I made predications and changed the values of variables in a spreadsheet model to check them
I added new variables to a spreadsheet model to make it more realistic
I can identify the rules in a model
I can identify the rules in a model and explain what they do

The advantages of modelling
Much cheaper than using the real thing
Can simulate
dangerous situations
Allows for data to be changed to see the consequences
Quick results. Simulation can be speeded up

The disadvantage
s of modelling
Results are usually only approximate and are not exact
