๐ Topic Summary
A frequency table is a simple way to organize data. It shows how many times each item or number appears in a set of data. For example, if you asked your classmates their favorite color and made a frequency table, it would show how many people like each color. This helps us see patterns and understand the data better.
Frequency tables are super useful for understanding collections of information! You can easily see which options are most popular and which are least popular. They're a great first step to making charts and graphs. Let's get started with some practice! ๐
