Pie Chart Detective

Connect frequencies, fractions, percentages and angles to investigate what a pie chart really says.

The school activity survey

A school surveyed 120 pupils about their favourite activity. The detective must verify every sector.

1 · FIND THE FRACTION

Category ÷ total.

Compare the category frequency with all 120 pupils.

2 · FIND THE ANGLE

Fraction × 360°.

A complete circle is 360°, so every sector is part of 360°.

3 · CHECK THE CHART

Angles total 360°.

Frequencies must total 120 and percentages must total 100%.

Solve the survey case.

WARM-UP · Read the whole chart

1. How many degrees are in a complete pie chart?

2. How many pupils were surveyed?

3. What angle represents Football?

4. What fraction of the pupils chose Reading?

5. What percentage chose Music?

GUIDED APPLICATION · Compare sectors

6. What angle represents Gardening?

7. Which two activities have equal sectors?

8. How many more pupils chose Football than Reading?

9. What percentage chose Music or Debate?

10. How many degrees represent one pupil?

REASONING CHALLENGE · Reconstruct missing information

11. A new sector measures 90°. How many of the 120 pupils would it represent?

12. Four sectors measure 144°, 72°, 54° and 36°. What is the missing sector?

13. If 200 pupils gave the same pattern of answers, how many would choose Football?

14. A learner draws the Reading sector as 60°. By how many degrees is it too small?

15. In a survey of 120 pupils, a sector measures 126°. How many pupils does it represent?

Coach reflection

For every sector, keep four facts connected: frequency, fraction, percentage and angle. If one changes, use the total to rebuild the others.
