Feeling hungry? Have a slice of pie ;)
2
Pie charts
3
Pie charts….. Let us see a set of data very easily Without using numbers Here’s one now……
6
Every pie chart has… A title A key Sectors These follow….

More pie charts
14
Now let’s try a real one Do a survey of the group and whether people prefer tea, coffee or neither, using the tally method Let’s see what that looks like as a pie chart End E3 here
15
Constructing a chart Doing the Maths bit…
16
Back to the Babylonians They divided a circle into 360 degrees This matched the number of days in a year very closely It is also a number with many factors, so it is easy to divide down and calculate with, without getting into fractions ;)
17
Check out the factors of 360 On your own or in pairs, work out as many factors of 360 as you can Answers follow…
18
Factors of 360 1 2 3 4 5 6 8
19
Factors of 360 9 10 12 15 18 20 30
20
Factors of 360 36 40 45 60 72 90 120 180
21
Working out the angles… Let’s imagine we do a survey of 12 people to find out whether they prefer tea, coffee, or some other drink Let’s say there is 1 who prefers tea, 8 coffee and 3 some other drink…
22
Working it out…. Then 1 in 12 prefer tea 8 out of 12 prefer coffee 3 out of 12 prefer “other” drinks
23
Changing the English to Maths 1 in 12 for tea = 1/12 8 out of 12 for coffee = 8/12 3 out of 12 for “other” = 3/12
24
Calculating the angles 1 tea out of 12 8 coffee out of 12 3 “other” out of 12 Tea sector = 1/12 x 360 Coffee = 8/12 x 360 “Other” = 3/12 x 360
25
Do the Maths….for tea 1 x 360 12 You can put any number over 1 - this doesn’t change its value, and lets you multiply it as a fraction 1 x 360 12 1
26
Sector size for tea 1 x 360 12 1 1 x 360 = 360 360 divided by 12 = 30 So the sector for tea will be 30 degrees wide
27
Do the Maths….for coffee 8 x 360 12 You can put any number over 1 - this doesn’t change its value, and lets you multiply it as a fraction 8 x 360 12 1
28
Sector size for coffee 8 x 360 12 1 2 x 360 3 1 Reduce 8/12 to its lowest terms – 2/3 Either do 360 x 2 and divide by 3 Or divide the 360 first by 3 then double it = 240 degrees
29
Boxing clever Some people always work out the basic sector first and then multiply up from that We know 1/12 prefer tea = 30 degrees Coffee is 8/12 – so that will be 8 x 30! Now let’s see the “other” category
30
Sector size for “other” 3/12 prefer “other” We know 1/12 = 30 degrees So 3/12 will be 90 degrees (90°) Also, 3/12 = ¼, and a quarter of a circle is 90°

Looks like this…
