  • Insert and format bulleted and numbered lists, then adjust list indentation and numbering restart

  • Configure page setup: margins, orientation, paper size, and headers/footers with page numbering

Your checkpoint

A formatted 3-page report with title page, headers/footers, and mixed list styles, saved as both .odt and .docx

Week 2

Writer

  • Insert and resize images, tables, and text frames, and wrap text around each object

  • Build a table with merged cells, repeated header row, and applied cell borders and shading

  • Create and modify paragraph and character styles, then apply them consistently across a document

  • Generate a table of contents from heading styles and update it after edits

  • Run spell check, find-and-replace with regular expressions, and word count

Your checkpoint

A 5-page styled document with an auto-generated TOC, an embedded image with wrapping, and a formatted table, plus a one-page list of every Writer menu command you used

Week 3

Calc

  • Enter formulas using relative, absolute, and mixed references and verify recalculation after copying

  • Build formulas with SUM, AVERAGE, COUNT, COUNTA, MIN, MAX, and IF across multiple ranges

  • Sort and filter a data range, then apply conditional formatting driven by a formula

  • Create a chart from a data range and change its type, labels, and axis titles

Your checkpoint

A budget workbook with at least 8 formulas, one IF-based category column, a sorted and filtered table, and one chart

Week 4

Calc

  • Apply number, currency, percentage, and date formats and explain how each changes display versus value

  • Freeze rows and columns, split a window, and print a selected range with repeated title rows

  • Use VLOOKUP or INDEX/MATCH to pull values from a second sheet and handle not-found errors

  • Create and name cell ranges, then reference them in formulas and data validation

Your checkpoint

A two-sheet grade tracker that pulls student names via lookup, validates input, and prints cleanly on one page

Week 5

Impress

  • Build a 6-slide deck from scratch using layouts, placeholders, and the outline view

  • Apply a master slide with consistent fonts, bullet levels, and a footer with slide numbers

  • Insert and animate text, images, and a chart, setting entrance effects and transition timing

  • Add speaker notes and rehearse timings, then export the deck to PDF

Your checkpoint

A 6-slide presentation on a topic of your choice with a custom master, one animated chart, speaker notes, and a PDF export

Week 6

Draw

  • Draw and align shapes using snap-to-grid, guides, and the alignment and distribution tools

  • Group, layer, and position objects precisely using the position and size dialog

  • Create a flowchart with connectors that stay attached when shapes move

  • Export a drawing to PNG and PDF at a specified resolution and verify the output

Your checkpoint

A one-page flowchart of a real process (at least 10 shapes, all connectors attached) exported to both PNG and PDF

Week 7

Base

  • Create a table with defined field types, a primary key, and at least two related tables

  • Build a form for data entry and a query with at least two filter criteria and one sort

A small contact-management database with two linked tables, one data-entry form, two queries, and one grouped report

Week 8

Math

  • Enter and edit formulas using cell references, operators, and built-in functions with correct syntax

  • Solve and graph linear equations and systems, adjusting axis scale and chart type

  • Compute statistics (mean, median, standard deviation) over a data set and interpret each result

  • Format a formula-heavy sheet so results are readable and errors are explained

Your checkpoint

A one-page math worksheet showing three solved equations, their graphs, and a statistics summary, all computed in Math
