In this activity learners examine information from a table given in a newspaper article. They are required to read values in rows and columns and understand the relationship between them, including those with three variables. They are working with much larger numbers in this exercise and accurate calculator work is needed. The context is skills development projects in the provinces organised by the Department of Labour.
