Construct a Sports Circle Graph

Worksheet Description

You are given data that reflects the favorite sport of students in a class. Use the data to create your own pie graph.

This worksheet presents a table of data listing students’ favorite sports, which include baseball, football, golf, and basketball, along with the number of students who prefer each sport. A blank pie chart is provided alongside the table, and the task for students is to construct a circle graph representing the given data. The chart is partially started with a line indicating a segment, and students must complete the pie chart by dividing it into sections that correspond to the number of students for each sport.

The worksheet aims to teach students how to create a pie chart from a set of data, which involves understanding proportions and translating numerical values into visual segments. It fosters skills in interpreting data tables, measuring and drawing angles or segments proportionately, and visualizing how numerical data can be represented graphically. By completing this exercise, students enhance their ability to analyze data and gain experience in effectively communicating information through graphs. This skill is foundational for understanding more complex data visualization techniques in their future studies.
