Hobby Graph

Worksheet Description

John asked his friends about their favorite hobby.  Students enjoy singing, reading, dancing, and painting. Read the circle graph and answer the questions.

This worksheet is a teaching tool that utilizes a circle graph to illustrate preferences in hobbies among a group of friends. The circle graph is divided into segments that represent different hobbies such as singing, reading, dancing, and painting, with each segment’s size corresponding to the popularity of that hobby among the friends. Accompanying the graph are questions that prompt the student to analyze the graph and determine the ranking of each hobby based on its popularity. The student is asked to identify the least and most favorite hobbies, hobbies with equal votes, and to compare the number of votes for two specific hobbies.

The worksheet is designed to teach students how to read and interpret data from a pie chart. It encourages the development of skills in comparative analysis, as students must assess which hobbies are more or less popular based on the size of the graph segments. It also fosters critical thinking by asking students to evaluate and compare the data presented visually. Moreover, this exercise helps in reinforcing concepts of fractions and percentages, as each section of the pie chart represents a part of the whole.
