Social Snapshot

Worksheet Description

This worksheet features a pie chart displaying the results of a survey conducted by a marketing company to determine users’ favorite social media platforms. The chart is divided into four segments, representing Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok, with each segment showing the percentage of users who prefer each platform. Students are asked to analyze the chart and answer questions such as identifying the most popular and least popular social media platforms, as well as calculating the number of users who prefer specific platforms like Facebook and Twitter. This activity combines visual data interpretation with practical problem-solving in the context of social media preferences.

The worksheet aims to teach students how to accurately interpret pie charts by focusing on understanding proportions and how they relate to actual numbers. By analyzing the pie chart, students learn to compare the size of each segment and understand what these percentages mean in a real-world context. The questions guide students to apply their knowledge of percentages to solve practical problems, such as determining how many users prefer each platform. This exercise also reinforces essential math skills, including fraction-to-percentage conversion, basic arithmetic, and the ability to draw conclusions from visual data, all within a relevant and engaging topic-social media usage.
