Slide5Creating Circle GraphsRequired knowledge: - how to draw a circle - angles in a circle (central angle) - calculating percent
Slide6To create a circlegraph: - draw a circle - use a protractor to measure and draw each central angle - label each sector with its category and its percent - colour or shade each sector - add a title for the circle graph
Slide7Key Ideas – Interpreting CircleGraphs A circle graph shows how each category of data compares to the whole using percents. The sum of all percents in a circle graph is 100%. Circle graphs are easier to interpret when there are a smaller number of categories and when the percent values are not too close together.
Slide8Key Ideas: Creating a Circle GraphThe sum of central angles in a circle is 360 degrees. To create a circle graph: - Express each category as a percent of the total. - Use the decimal value of the percent to calculate the measure of the central angle (central angle = decimal value equivalent of percent X 360 degrees). - Use a protractor to measure and draw each central angle. - Add sector labels for the categories and a title to the circle graph.
