Interpreting Pie Charts in Year 6 Maths

Pupils learn to analyse and interpret data from pie charts and to compare different sections. They use fractions of the whole, so half of 40 children is 20 and a quarter is 10, and they remember that a complete circle represents the total. Real-life examples include favourite colours, sweets in a bag, hair colour, languages studied, TV programmes and how much Mrs Yusuf spent at a superstore, with problem-solving questions on finding totals.
