A KS3-4 maths worksheet resource that can be used to practice extracting data from tables and using the data in calculations and comparisons.  An ideal resource for Level 2 Functional Maths. 

The activity has two tables:

  • Congruent car hire: contains information about car hire prices for different category cars, for different lengths of time. It also includes excess mileage charges and online offers. Students then answer 5 questions.
  • Matrix motors: similar information as the previous table and 4 questions to answer.

There is also some interesting extension work that can lead to discussion but also can be modified to provide an investigation of real-world data.
