Exploring Data with Pie Charts
Exploring Data with Pie Charts
What do you already know about presenting data?
Learning Objective
At the end of the lesson you will be able to collect data, organise it into categories, and use Canva to create a pie chart to display your results clearly.
Why Do We Use Graphs?
Graphs help us see patterns and trends in data. They make information easier to understand by showing it visually instead of just with numbers.
Collecting Data
To start, ask your classmates about their favourite sport. Write down each person's answer on your survey sheet.
Organising the Data
Group the answers by sport (for example: football, basketball, swimming). Count how many students chose each sport.
Making a Pie Chart
Use Canva to turn your information into a colourful pie chart. Each section shows the number of votes for each sport.
What Can We Learn?
Looking at your pie chart, notice which sports are most and least popular. Think about why some sports have more votes.
Reflect and Share
How did presenting your data as a pie chart help you see the most popular sports? Share your pie chart and what you discovered with the class.
