Read a table

key notes:

1. Understanding Tables:

• A table is a way to organize information in rows and columns.
• Each row represents a single item or category.
• Each column shows different information about the items in the rows (such as numbers, dates, or names).

2. Parts of a Table:

• Title: The title tells you what the table is about.
• Rows: Each row gives information about one thing (e.g., one person, one day).
• Columns: Each column shows a specific type of information (e.g., age, score, or height).
• Cells: The small boxes in the table where the row and column meet. They contain the data.

3. How to Read a Table:

• Look at the title to understand what the table is showing.
• Find the row of the item you are interested in.
• Look across the row to find the information in the columns for that item.
• Example: If a table shows the number of books read by students, the rows might be names of students, and the columns would show how many books each student read.

4. Example: Reading a Simple Table

• The table above shows how many books each student has read.
• Alice has read 5 books, Ben has read 3 books, and Clara has read 7 books.
