How do you calculate acceleration given a table of distances and times?

Given a table of distance travelled down an inclined plane (10cm 20cm etc...) and the time taken to travel those distances, how do you find the acceleration?How do you calculate acceleration given a table of distances and times?
well, you could use the distance and time to find velocities

v= change in d / change in t

and then acceleration = change in v / change in t
