Clockwise is the direction that the hands of an analogue clock travel

A pie chart (pie graph) is a circular graph where sectors represent different groups proportionally.

The frequency is the number of times an event occurs; or the number of individuals (people, animals etc.) with some specific property.

An angle is a measure of turn, it is often displayed as the rotation between two line segments.

A sector is the region formed between two radii and their connecting arc.

Problem solving with graphical representations of data

In this unit, pupils explore different graphs and charts as a way of presenting data visually. Pupils are introduced to scatter graphs and learn how to construct them in this unit. In the future unit, this understanding is extended to using a line of best fit to allow interpolation

In this unit, pupils interpreted and constructed pie charts based on their understanding of fractions and proportion

In this unit pupils will interpret and construct a range of representations of data including bar charts, pie charts and scatter graphs.

60 people were asked: "what do you most frequently drink whilst at work". The results will be placed in a pie chart with a total of 12 pre-defined sectors. How many sectors would represent water?

60 people were asked: "what do you most frequently drink whilst at work". The results will be placed in a pie chart with a total of 12 pre-defined sectors. How many people voted for milk?

A large set of information is collected and represented in a pie chart of 24 equally-sized sectors. Each one sector represents a frequency of 15. What is the total frequency of this dataset?

The incomplete ratio table shows a dataset being converted into angles to represent each subgroup as sectors on a pie chart. Match the letters to the correct missing values.

the whole circumference / perimeter of a circle

part of the circumference of a circle, called an arc

two radiuses / radii of a circle (distance from centre to circumference)

two diameters of a circle (distance across the whole circle and through centre)

two tangents of a circle (line that touches the circumference at one point)

Which of these parts of a circle are essential when forming one sector of a circle?
