Interpreting Circle Graphs
What does this pie chart mean? Once scholars can analyze a circle graph on a basic level (i.e. "Most people prefer cats"), it's time to delve deeper into it. They examine two graphs here, and are given the total number of participants...

Interpretation of Circle Graphs: Northwest Region Population Pie
Given populations of the five Northwestern states, learners create a circle graph. Using the data and the pie chart, they make comparisons between the populations of the states. Finally, the pupils determine how the chart will change...

Usage and Interpretation of Graphs
Cooperative groups are formed for this graphing activity. Each group must construct a graph that represents how many eyelets (the holes for laces in shoes), are present in their group. A whole-class bar graph is eventually constructed...

Circle Up Your M&Ms
Fifth graders estimate how many M&Ms are in a pre-counted bag. They determine how many colored M&Ms are in a bag, then decide which of the two, bar graph or circle graph (in this case, circle graph) would be best to show te results.
