Assessment Task Clarifying Activity Students collect class data on a topic of interest, such as their favorite type of music, and sort the data into groups such as rap, rock, blues, country. Students construct a circle graph from the data, identifying the entire circle as a representation of the entire class and each appropriately-sized sector of the circle as the representation of the fraction of the class associated with each group of data.
Students use fractions, decimals, and percents and angle measures to construct the circle graph.
Students can extend their data collection to include the entire eighth grade, or the entire school, and use integrated software to design a database and construct a circle graph for the larger set of data. Construct a histogram to display the data. Spring 2000 Educator's Guide Supplement 17. Elaine recorded the high temperature for each of 15 days last month. The chart shows these temperatures.
