SLM uses only evidence-based procedures designed to deliver 21st Century Skills with a spreadsheet. Teacher PD steps: teachers Prep, Post, Present, Proctor students with personally reviewed SLM lesson. Keep it forever, NEVER prep it again.
SLM Content provided as either a PD module or student-ready experience.
SLM Skills: 40 "Deliverable Skills" endorsements provided on PD Certs.
Spreadsheet skills among those practiced when delivering SLM learning experiences
Every SLM Model is quantitative, student built, evidence-based, intuitive and easy to engage!
There are infinite possible things to model, but students have limited time and the 40 SLM Deliverable Skills tracked in teach PD can be distributed across the entire curriculum by content area. SLM was taxpayer funded NSF SBIR Award Number 1913560

Built and organized by professional educators.
- Formula Writing (using all mathematical operations: trigonometric functions, inverse trig functions, converting radians to degrees)
- Formula Replication, Using Fixed and Relative References
- Analysis of Large Data Sets with Computer Commands
- IF Functions, Sum Functions, Max and Min Functions
- Making and Using Pivot Tables (a Pivot Table is a series of simulating cells that update when a referenced variable(s) are changed at their input location(s), each model is a pivot table)
- Goal Seek/Solver to Solve/Optimize
- Applying Random Number Generator Functions
- Development of Living Graphs that Update Instantly
- Graphing Multiple (X Y Scatter) Data Sets on Axis
