Constructing Circle Graphs

Baseball and statistics go hand-in-hand and knowing how to interpret, compare, and display this information is a key skill for any middle schooler. Using two sets of data, have young statisticians answer questions by constructing and...

There is more than one way to represent data! Learners explore ways to represent data. They examine stacked graphs, histograms, and line plots. They conduct surveys and use stacked graphs, histograms, or line plots to chart the data they...

Students make their own puzzle grid that illustrates the number of sit-ups students in a gym class did in one minute, then they make a histogram for this same data. Then they title their graph and label the scales and axes and graph the...

Learners examine a sample budget and categorize the entries as a group. Then in small groups they convert budget category totals to percents and degrees to make a circle graph related to a sample budget.

Seventh graders complete three activities related to collecting data, constructing circle graphs, and examineing how to use circle graphs. They administer a survey to gather data, make a circle graph to display data, and make a concept...

Students make a circle graph. In this graphing lesson, the teacher conducts a class survey, then demonstrates how to make a pie graph. When students are comfortable with the material, they use a worksheet to create their own graph.

Students create and interpret line plots, bar graphs, and circle graphs. The lesson assumes mastery of conversions from fraction to decimal to percent, construction of angles, and at least an introduction to graphs displaying data.

Seventh graders are able to develop (synthesis) pie graphs with the class and on their own. They are told that pie charts are a graphic representation of material that can be given in the form of parts of a whole by using...

Represent data graphically. Allow your class to explore different methods of representing data. They create foldables, sing songs, and play a dice game to reinforce the measures of central tendency.

Students create two types of graphs, collecting data and interpreting the results. They create their own surveys and record the data on a circle graph and a bar graph.
