A table is a great way to compare pieces of related information in an efficient manner. Using a table you can compare both descriptive and numerical data (meaning the information can be either words or numbers). Some examples of places you can see tables are:
- Schedules
- Budgets and financial statements
- Invoices and Quotations
- Order forms
- Doctor's offices

Data will be represented in rows and columns with labels on the top and on the sides. Data can be represented in words, numbers, or other symbols (checks, dots, stars, etc).

How do we read them?
To read a table, first look at the title of the chart to determine what information you will learn. Then, view the headings at the top and sides to determine the specific data you will see.
EG. In Table 1 above, the title indicates that we are looking at plant growth and PH values.
Next, look at the headings across the top. In the second table, I see that I can learn about the relation between the plant group, the PH of the soil, and the average growth of the plants in centimeters.
Finally, look at the data:
- I can see that plant group 1 had a soil PH of 6.0 and average plant growth was 25.4 cm.
- If I want to know what PH develops the most growth, I look down the growth column and I notice groups 4 and 5 both had the highest growth...so the best PH is between 6.6 and 6.8.
