Lesson Details
Key learning points
- A pie chart is a way of presenting data representing parts of a whole.
- Pie charts can be interpreted using knowledge of angles.
- Pie charts can be interpreted using knowledge of fractions and percentages.
Common misconception
Pupils may make mistakes converting an angle of a sector into a percentage.
Choose to work with angles that can easily be converted into percentages (e.g. 72° is equal to 20% of the whole chart). You could have these readily available in the classroom as part of a display to refer to throughout the lesson.
