PIE CHARTS  Calculating angles and percentages
Materials needed Classwork book (to copy notes) Protractor Pair of compasses Pencil Ruler Eraser
Lesson Objective To be able to draw a pie chart by calculating the degrees for each sector from a set of given data To be able to calculate the percentage for each sector from a set of given data
Why Pie charts? A pie chart is a good way of displaying data when you want to show how something is shared or divided.
How do we calculate angles? Twenty students were asked on which day they would paint the scenery for the school play. The replies were: Monday - 5 Tuesday - 4 Wednesday - 8 Thursday 3
Remember!!! The angles at the centre of a pie chart MUST add up to 360º
Calculation 20 students are represented by 360º One student is represented by 360º  = 18º 20 Thursday = 3 x 18º = 54º Wednesday = 8 x 18º = 144º Tuesday = 4 x 18º = 72º Monday = 5 x 18º  = 90º
Now…. Draw the pie chart representing the students Show the key and angle of each sector. Then, calculate the percentage of each parts.
Peer Assessment Ask your friends to check your workings: Circle (1 point) Correct angles and sector (4 points) Key shown for days (1 point) Percentage shown (4 points) Total up the number of points (max=10) 8 - 10 points = 3 stars 5 - 7 points = 2 stars 2 - 4 points = 1 star
Well Done!!! How well did you do in this exercise? How many stars did you get? Anyone got 3 stars?
