Guide

A data table organises information in rows and columns. Each row has a name and its number is written beside it.

To read a table, find the row and read the number beside it. To compare, put the numbers side by side.

To fill a table from data, put a mark in the right row for each item. Close every group of five with a slash and count at the end.
