Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Comparing Circle Graphs to Other Graphs. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.

Main Concepts

A scale should be chosen that is appropriate for the data values being represented.
All graphs must include a title, percent or number labels for data categories, and a key. A key is essential to explain how to read the graph. A title is essential to explain what the graph represents.
Circle graphs can represent percent or frequency.
Circle graphs are used for data showing a relationship of the parts to the whole.
Compare data represented in a circle graph with the same data represented in bar graphs, pictographs, and line plots.
Circle graphs are not useful for representing data with large numbers of categories.
A line plot is used for categorical and discrete numerical data and is used to show frequency of data on a number line. It is a simple way to organize data.
A bar graph is used for categorical and discrete numerical data (e.g., number of months or number of people with a particular eye color) and is used to show comparisons.
A pictograph is mainly used to show categorical data. Pictographs are used to show frequency and compare items. However, the use of partial pictures can give misleading information.

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

What types of data are best presented in a circle graph? Why do we use graphs to organize data? Is there more than one way to organize data in a graph? What does the title of a graph tell you? What is a question that you could ask to use the data to create a graph? What is different on a graph if the data for a category is "0"?

After the Game

What are some ways using a circle graph is helpful? What are some other methods you could use to represent data from a circle graph? A line plot graph is best used to show what kind of data? Can you design and draw a circle graph that shows 4 blue flowers, 2 yellow flowers, 3 red flowers and 1 purple flower? What would the total number of flowers represented in the circle graph be? Can you design and draw a bar graph with the same information about flowers listed above?
