Tables with rows and columns

What this chapter teaches

A table is read by its row and its column, and the answer is in the cell where they meet. Each count goes in one cell, so the cells add up to the number counted. To find how long a trip takes, count on to the next hour, then on to the end time.

Three questions to ask

There is no one right wording. Listen for the idea.

1. How do you find one number in a table like a timetable?
2. The cells of a table add up to 11 but you counted 8 children. What might have gone wrong?
3. A bus leaves at 09:45 and arrives at 10:20. How would you work out the trip?
