**A ready-to-teach Year 6 pie charts lesson focused on using fractions and percentages of amounts to calculate values from data in KS2 maths.
This lesson is fully standalone and ready to teach, supporting pupils in moving beyond estimation to accurate calculation and interpretation of pie charts.**
This Year 6 maths lesson focuses on interpreting pie charts and calculating values using fractions and percentages of amounts.
Pupils build on their understanding of proportion by using given totals to work out exact values represented within pie charts. This develops their ability to apply fractions and percentages in a data context and strengthens their confidence with KS2 statistics questions.
Teachers can use the included Smart Notebook input slides to model methods clearly and guide pupils through step-by-step examples before independent practice.
Pupils then complete a differentiated independent activity designed to support all learners while still providing appropriate challenge. The tasks develop accuracy when working with fractions, percentages and proportional reasoning in pie chart contexts.
This resource is ideal for Year 6 statistics lessons, KS2 data interpretation practice, SATS revision, or targeted intervention sessions.
