7. Click on the
.
8. Then highlight the cells you want to multiply together.
It will automatically add the cells. Go to the : and replace it with a *. This will then multiply the cells.
9. The finished multiplication problem will look like this:
10. If you wanted to make an answer key and do multiple multiplication questions you could highlight the cells and copy them. 
Then click
and click into the cell E4 to paste by clicking
.
11. Your copied cells will look like this:
You can now change the numbers inside this cell to lets say 5 times 3 so it looks like this. You will notice that it automatically correctly recalculated the answer.
12. Now lets add an addition problem. Type in the following in the next set of boxes:
13. Type in an = sign in box C12 so that your auto sum box appears
.
14. Then highlight the cells you want to add up. 
The program automatically adds them up.
15. Now lets add another row as we want to add an additional number. Click on row 11 so it looks like this 
16. Go up to the top and click on 
17. It will now look like this:
18. 
19. Now type in + in B11 and 9 in C11.

21. Now double click in C13 and it will look like this:
22. Now press return and you will see that your sum is correct.
23. Go to B15 and type Subtract and type the following in the cells:
24. Go to C18 and type the = sign and highlight C16 and C17 so it looks like this:
25. Since it automatically adds the cells you will need to replace the : with a – so it looks like this:
26. Now when you press return your problem will show the correct subtraction answer.
27. Again if you chose to add an additional subtraction number to the problem click on row 17 and
and enter – 2 in Row 17 so it appears as below:
28. You will notice that the sum is wrong so you will need to click in C19 to fix it. Always check the sum formula when you add or subtract a row. When we check this problem we see that C17 is not highlighted so it is not in the formula. 
29. To add it to the formula just click on it. When you do this it will automatically add C17 so you will need to go in and change the + to a – next to C17.
30. When done correctly it will look like this:
Make sure you have also deleted the ) so that the formula is correct.
