Source document note: The official curriculum document has a fault in this entry, so the curriculum text above is transcribed exactly as printed:

sub strand name - p.41: the page is headed 'SUB-STRAND 2: INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONIC SPREADSHEET / (TABS AND RIBBONS MANIPULATION)' but every code on it and on p.42 reads sub-strand 3 (B6.5.3.1, B6.5.3.1.1-.7). sub_strand_code follows the codes; this name is the page's own heading

Guide learners to develop worksheet consisting of list of names ie. teachers, students, friends, families, etc.
