Here is another answer to your questions from this mailing list:
***************************************************************************
A9 is a cell reference in column/row format. If you prefer, X/Y format.
Powers are created using ^. So, squared is n^2, cubed is n^3, etc.
Fractional numbers are entered using /. 12/24, for example. However,
as fractions are reduced to simplest form, 12/24 would display as 1/2.
This may not be desirable, depending on what age the students are.
