Visualizing Quantitative Information

Numerical data are commonly presented as tables or graphs (Ainsworth, 2021). Tables have the additional advantage of including non-numerical data, as exemplified in Table 1. A typical reason to display numerical data on a table is so that students can extract these values to perform calculations. Moreover, interactive tables on electronic platforms allow the viewer to sort the table entries in ascending or descending order according to the data in a column of choice. The sorted dataset ranks the entries and facilitates comparisons.
