🌟 Tables & Charts Superstars 🌟

Hi my amazing Grade 6 data superstars! 👋

Today we’re learning how to read and create tables and charts! Tables and charts help us see information clearly and quickly. They’re like magic tools that turn numbers into stories!

📊📋✨

1. Reading Tables

Tables organize data in rows and columns.

Student	Favourite Sport	Hours of TV per week
Sara	Soccer	8
Ahmed	Hockey	5
Emma	Basketball	12

From this table we can see:
• Emma watches the most TV
• Ahmed watches the least

2. How to Create a Good Table

Give it a clear title
Label every column and row
Use numbers or simple words
Keep it neat and organized

3. Different Types of Charts

Bar Graph Example
Favourite Sports in Class

Soccer █████████ (9)
Hockey ██████ (6)
Basketball ████ (4)
Tennis ███ (3)

Bar graphs are great for comparing categories.
Line graphs show change over time.
Pictographs use pictures to show data.
