How to develop a calculator using Excel Macro via VBA
 

Hello,

I'm an Elementary School computer Teacher. I would like to introduce
my 3rd-6th grade students to Excel. I also want them to experience
the programming ability of excel. I was told that developing a
calculator through macros and VBA is possible. I'm really trying to
make it fun leaning excel through game development. Does anyone have
any creative ideas?

Peace,
Jugurtha

your example is prolly not a good one since XL 'is' a calculator - doesn't
need any coding - it just does it

I agree with Jethro.
Smart kids might wonder "What are we doing this for, Excel IS a
calculator?"

Maybe a simple hangman game or a dice that could be used when playing a
board game.
