Description: The aim of this activity is for the students to read the information contained in tables meaningfully. Two exercises are proposed. For the first exercise, the student just needs to read the information carefully and comprehensively in order to answer the questions. The second exercise requires calculations as the increases or decreases in question involve subtractions that, as we point out, can be performed using the calculator or a spreadsheet. In any event, the important part of this task is learning to look carefully at the data.
