Introduction

The use of pie charts to represent data

Pre-Requisites:

Basic knowledge about numbers and interpretation of numbers

Activity:

The interpretation of numerical data into bar graphs and pictographs by representing the sum of numbers the student collects from the urn. A raw data has all the points collected by a student. Grouped frequency distribution is used to know the ratios of various groups

Real Life Question:

How are the sales of a particular company this year?

Gadgets How it can be used
Ice cream sticks, numbered coins Take an urn and place numbered coins in them. Ask students to take three coins and sum up the numbers and collect ice cream sticks. Group the data by dividing the students into various intervals depending on the total points they collected. Find the ratios of the groups with total and plot them on a pie chart.
Real life uses :

Surveys, sales, predictions, reliability of a product, results, rates, disk space

Practical examples around us
Examples Explainations
survey The statistics of a survey are compared using pictorial representations.
Sales of products The annual sales of products are represented graphically to show the increase or decrease in the number of sales.
What you learn in Theory:

The numerical data is represented into pictorial representations using pictographs, bar diagrams and double bar diagrams to interpret and compare them easily. The data should be grouped to make it easier for inferences. Ratios of each group to the total is taken and represented in a circle.

What you learn in Practice:

Each student has different points which can be plotted in a pictograph by taking n number of sticks to be one unit and representing them. Bar graphs are made by defining n number of sticks to be unit height. Using double bar graphs, the points of various students can be compared. The number of students with points in a particular interval can be found by grouping the data. Each group ratio to the total is marked on a circle in the same ratio.
