Pie Charts Be able to construct a pie chart from a collection of data, using a protractor.
Makes of car in a school car park Cavalier Ford Rover Volvo Frequency 3 2 4 1 Construct a pie chart to show this information. A full circle is 360o There are a total of 3+2+4+1 = 10 cars We use 36o to represent each car 360o
Work out the missing numbers on this number spider 12 90 30 ÷ 30 ÷ 4 ÷ 12 360 4 ÷ 90 15 ÷ 24 ÷ 15 ÷ 20 24 ÷ 10 18 36
Makes of car in a school car park Cavalier Ford Rover Volvo Frequency 3 2 4 1 Angle in pie chart 3x36o =108o 2x36o =72o 4x36o =144o 1x36o =36o We use 36o to represent each car so the 3 Cavaliers are represented by 3x36o = 108o Work out the angle needed for each of the other models of car
Makes of car in a school car park Cavalier Ford Rover Volvo Angle 108o 72o 144o 36o Mark the centre of the pie and draw the circle. Draw a line from the centre to the edge Measure the first angle needed (108o) Draw in the line and label the section Cavalier 108o
Makes of car in a school car park Cavalier Ford Rover Volvo Angle 108o 72o 144o 36o From this line measure the next angle, draw the line and label the section. Continue in this way Check that the last section has the correct angle and label it. Volvo 36o Cavalier Rover 144o 72o Ford
Why? Why do we use 36o to represent 1 car? What would happen if there were 20 cars? What about 60 cars? Or 15 cars? If there were 20 cars in your survey, what angle would you use to represent 4 cars? 7 cars? 12 cars?
