Everyone loves pizza pie! What we were not aware off was that from the first time we came across that crusty-cheesy goodness, we were actual getting a lesson in graphing. In this section of our site we will explore pie charts which, well, look like a pie or pizza pie. They are sometimes referred to as a circle graphs because, well, they are circles. We use these types of graphs to display categorical data which means we are looking at portions of a whole value. This helps us breakdown our complete population of data into smaller segments that we can better understand. This will help you better understand the whole body of data and which contribute the least or greatest amount. It helps us make the naturally progression on to percentages, fractions, and decimals. Everyone wants a big piece of the pie, we learned that the day we met pizza.

Your students will use these activity sheets to learn how to create and interpret circle graphs, also known as pie charts. Students will also practice calculating and demonstrating proper segment percentages. You not only learn how to read these graphs, but the ultimate goal is to be able to make confident decisions based on what the data is telling you. This is where you can make a career for yourself, if you are good at this skill.
