Kavi's Fruit Survey
Kavi asked every friend, "What fruit do you like best?" Soon there were answers everywhere — 🍎🍌🍎🍇🍌🍎 — all jumbled up! "I can't tell how many of each," Kavi groaned. Then — hoot! — Kavi drew a table: a neat grid with one column for each fruit. Every answer went in its own box. "Now I can see it!" A table keeps data tidy in rows and columns, so you can read it in a blink. "Let's put our data in a table!"
