About this worksheet

Two-way tables: counts and percents. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

  • I can read a cell, find a row or column total, and fill in a missing cell or a whole table from a description.
  • I can find a row percent or a column percent, using the total of the group the question names.
  • I can say whether two things tend to go together by comparing the groups' percents, never the counts, and never as a cause.

Standard: 8.SP.A.4

Words to know

two-way table: A table that sorts one group by two yes-or-no questions.

cell: One box of the table: the count for one row and one column.

row total / column total: All the cells across one row / down one column added.

relative frequency: A count as a share of a total, often as a percent.

row percent: A cell as a percent of its row's total.

association: Two answers tend to go together; one group's share is clearly bigger.

Common mistakes

Your child read the row total instead of one cell. Put one finger on the row and one on the column together; the answer is the cell where they meet.

Your child read a cell in the right row but the wrong column. Point to the column heading together before reading the number.

Your child added the numbers down a column instead of across the row. A row total adds the cells across one row.

Questions parents ask

What is the most common mistake with two-way tables: counts and percents?

Your child read the row total instead of one cell. Put one finger on the row and one on the column together; the answer is the cell where they meet.
