There are four ways to create a new spreadsheet in Google Sheets:
Option 1: Click the multi-colored "+" button on your Google Sheets dashboard.

Option 2: Open the menu from within a spreadsheet and select File > New > Spreadsheet.

Option 3: Click the multi-colored New button on your Google Drive dashboard and select Google Sheets > Blank spreadsheet.

Option 4: Type "sheets.new" into your browser.
This will create a new blank spreadsheet (or a populated Google Sheets template if you choose one of those; for this Google Sheets tutorial, though, you should start with a blank spreadsheet).

The Google Sheets interface should remind you of at least one other spreadsheet app you've seen before, with familiar text editing icons and tabs for extra sheets.
