These worksheets will teach your beginning students how to read and interpret simple data tables.

How Do You Read Data Tables? A table can be perused from left to right or through and through. If you read a table over the column, you read the data from left to right. In the Cats and Dogs Table, the quantity of dark creatures is 2 + 2 = 4. You'll see that those are the numbers in the line straightforwardly to one side of the word 'Dark.' If you read a table down a section, you read the data from start to finish. For this situation, the quantity of felines is 2 + 3 = 5. Perusing a table down one segment or across one line is very useful. Another advantageous approach to utilize a table is to pick one line header and one segment header to pose any inquiry concerning the informational collection.

When we have a bunch of data that we are trying to learn more about it is customary to arrange this into a table. When we visualize data it makes it easier to see patterns or make inference. When we have two data tables available this makes it much easier to understand what is going on around us. These types of tables give us full reign to examine simple systems or choices. These worksheets explain how to read and interpret simple data tables. Students will use the information in short data tables to answer the questions.
