📋 Data Tables

How to read a table

• Rows go across. Columns go down.
• To find a value: find the right row, then the right column, and read where they meet.
• Always read the headings, including the units (seconds, cm, m, £).

How many pages did Mia read? → find Mia’s row, go across to “Pages read” → 410

Timetables

Timetables use the 24-hour clock: 13:00 is 1 pm, 15:30 is half past 3 in the afternoon.

To find how long a journey takes, count on from the start time to the end time: 08:15 → 08:45 is 30 minutes.

Watch out! In a race, the smallest time is the fastest. In a jump or throw, the biggest number wins.

Top tip: put a finger on the row and another on the column, and slide them together so you don’t read the wrong line.
