ACTIVITY


Circle Graphs: Estimate the relative size of regions of a circle as a percent. Use the given data to calculate percents and draw circle graphs.
   
Optional: Transparent circle protractor If possible, use a transparent circle protractor and consider the relationship between degree measure and percent. These activities require you to estimate percent regions. For example, you should realize that 25% is 1/4 of a circle, which is 90 degrees. Other reference percents to consider include: 10% (36 degrees), 50% (180 degrees), and 75% (270 degrees).

The Circle Graph activity could be expanded to include estimating the number of degrees in each region divided by the whole quantity (base).

Pie Chart Meter

Using the circle below; shade in each of the following percentages: 90%, 100%, 83.3%, 75% and 66.6%.
