Fruit Favorites

Worksheet Description

This worksheet presents a pie chart that shows the results of a survey conducted by a supermarket to determine their customers’ favorite fruits. The chart is divided into four segments, representing apples, bananas, oranges, and strawberries, with each segment showing the percentage of customers who prefer each fruit. Students are asked to examine the chart and answer questions such as identifying the most popular and least popular fruits, and calculating the number of customers who prefer bananas and strawberries. This activity combines visual data interpretation with practical problem-solving related to everyday choices like favorite fruits.

The worksheet is designed to teach students how to accurately interpret pie charts by focusing on understanding proportions and converting them into real numbers. By analyzing the pie chart, students learn to compare the sizes of the segments and understand what these percentages represent in a real-world context. The questions prompt students to apply their knowledge of percentages to solve practical problems, such as determining how many customers prefer a particular fruit. This exercise reinforces essential math skills, including fraction-to-percentage conversion, basic arithmetic, and the ability to draw meaningful conclusions from visual data, all within the context of a relatable and engaging topic-favorite fruits.
