This presentation provides four days of teaching that cover the objectives:
- Construct and interpret pie charts
- Find the mean of a data set
It includes starter activities, whole class teaching, group activities, practice sheets and mastery questions. It can be used on a variety of interactive whiteboards.
Day 1 Teaching
Show 2 pie charts with results of favourite sports surveys. Explain what a pie chart is. Discuss how we interpret these, asking questions, e.g., Which is the most popular sport for children from school A? School B?
Day 2 Teaching
Show a table of how difficult 12 children find each times-table. Discuss how to show this in a pie chart. We need to work out the size of each segment by finding the number of children as a fraction of the whole.
Day 3 Teaching
Ask children what ‘average’ means. There are different ways of finding an average. Work together to find the mean length (letter count) of a set of six names. Explore the effect of adding another name to the set (more letters than the current mean), using a calculator to find the answer.
Day 4 Teaching
Show children a table of numbers of texts (see resources) sent on one typical day by children in Y7. Children find the average. Compare with numbers of texts send by children in Y10.
