This lesson plan aims to teach students how to make and interpret tables. The lesson will begin by showing students data in paragraph and table formats to motivate which is easier to understand. Key terms like table, row, column, category and data will be introduced. Students will then be given a handout and examples of tables to discuss their purposes and importance for organizing data. The teacher will ask questions based on the tables to check student understanding. For evaluation, students will study a table showing leisure time by age and answer questions about it. As an assignment, students will make their own table organizing survey data about their college preferences.
