I am an experienced functional skills and GCSE maths teacher. I teach mainly adults. I also teach apprentices so I have a wide variety of resources from whole class teaching to my workbooks which were originally developed for work with apprentice who come to my classes on a roll on roll off basis - lessons with apprentices are very exam focused trying to prepare them for exams as quickly as possibly. I enjoy a problem solving approach and like to develop resource suitable for adults.

I came across these when looking for some resources to consolidate pie charts.
Original resource was posted by user a17nby
It is a card matching activity generator on pie charts. Learners have to match a set of 9 frequency tables with their matching pie charts. A great way to generate your own pie matching activities.
Can be used as an activity within a pie chart lesson or could be used as a starter or plenary.
