A student is creating a simple budget in a spreadsheet app on a tablet. The student wants all money values to show two decimal places and to include a dollar sign. They also want the total to update automatically if any income or expense value is changed.
Identify the most appropriate technology to use if the student needs the total to update automatically: a basic calculator app or a spreadsheet app.

In Unit 1 students will develop their numeracy practices to make sense of their personal, public and vocational lives. They will develop mathematical skills with consideration of their local, community, national and global environments and contexts, and an awareness and use of appropriate technologies. These units provide students with the fundamental mathematical knowledge, skills, understandings and dispositions to solve problems in real contexts for a range of workplace, personal, further learning and community settings relevant to contemporary society.
On completion of this unit, the student should be able to select and effectively and accurately use the appropriate mathematical tools and applications chosen from a developing mathematical toolkit relevant to the key knowledge and key skills specified in the Areas of Study 1-4, and across the chosen range of numeracies. The purpose of Outcome 3 is for students to develop a mathematical toolkit to use where necessary as they undertake their numeracy practices, activities and tasks. At the end of Units 1 and 2, students should be developing their skills of both analogue and digital technologies with the ability to identify and use a range of appropriate mathematical tools (analogue and digital/technological) to solve and communicate mathematical problems embedded in practical contexts.
