Tables, recording and significant figures

Present numerical data in a single table with raw and calculated values, use quantity/unit headings, record precision consistently, show calculation working and justify significant figures in calculated quantities.

Use tables, recording and significant figures to connect the rule to the data and decision in the question.

This matters because tables, recording and significant figures determines what can be inferred or chosen; begin with the stated conditions and keep the conclusion tied to the evidence.

Example: apply tables, recording and significant figures to one small, clearly defined case, show the key step or comparison, and explain the result in words.

Boundary: Tables, recording and significant figures is not a universal recommendation. Check the syllabus scope, assumptions, units and the limits of the evidence before generalising.
