Excel is a very useful program. Since I am going to become a high school math teacher, I definitely plan on using Excel in my classroom. I will probably use it to create worksheets, as well as use it for my grade book. Using a spreadsheet for a grade book will help to eliminate errors, because I can create formulas to figure grades instead of using a calculator. This will not only minimize errors, but it will save time, allowing me to spend more time teaching.
Some other applications of Excel in a math class, might be to show students how to create a graph using formulas. I would begin with simple formulas and then gradually increase the complexity. In addition, older high school students could make models for younger students. They could employ their knowledge on how to work out a specific type of problem and then create a spreadsheet to teach the younger students how to solve the problem.
