Abstract:
This article examines some techniques that teachers and other individuals interested in school-related data may find helpful and informative in examining tabular displays of data that are frequently found in local newspapers and school publications. Such techniques include looking for tabular patterns, median polish, and examining trifold percents in a table of cross-categorized values.
