+# Exercise 10: Create tables
+
+In this exercise, you will learn how to create and format tables in your TeachBook using Markdown and reStructuredText.
+
+::::::{topic} Exercise objective
+Can you correctly format tables and reference them within your book?
+::::::
+
+```{tip}
+Tables help organize and present structured data clearly. JupyterBook supports Markdown tables and reStructuredText list-tables.
+```
+
+## Writing Tables with Markdown
+
+1. Open a new or existing Markdown file where you want to insert a table.
+2. Add a simple table using the `|` separator and `---` for column alignment. Try the following example:
+
+```md
+| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
+|---|---|---|
+| Data 1  | Data 2  | Data 3  |
+| Data 4  | Data 5  | Data 6  |
+```
+
+## Creating Tables with reStructuredText
+
+3. You can also create tables using the `list-table` directive. The advantage of this method is that it allows referencing (refer to [Exercise 11](011.md)). Try the following example:
+
+````md
+```{list-table} Sample Data Table
+:header-rows: 1
+* - Category
+  - Value 1
+  - Value 2
+* - Item A
+  - 10
+  - 20
+* - Item B
+  - 15
+  - 30
+```
+````
+
+5. To test your understanding, try and create a new table from scratch with at least three columns, ensuring proper alignment and formatting, using both methods described above. 
+
+6. When you are ready, commit your changes to the repository by clicking on the green `Commit changes` button.
+
+7. Add a commit message.
+
+8. To see your changes, go to {octicon}`play;1em` `Actions` - The most recent workflow run `overview.md / the commit message of the commit you just made` - Wait for it to finish - In the summary, click on the link of your book shown in the table `Branches deployed` and under `Primary book at root` (getting bored of waiting? There'll be exercising on doing this locally which prevents you from waiting).
+
+9. Do you see your change? If you don't see it click `CTRL`+`F5`/`Control`+`F5`to refresh the page.
+
+
+
+```{admonition} Check your understanding

+Before moving on to the next exercise, make sure you understand the following:
+- How do you create a basic table using Markdown? 
+- When would you choose to use a `list-table` instead of a Markdown table?
+- What syntax is required to define a `list-table`?  
+- How do you specify column headers in a `list-table`?
