1 Pie charts
1 The pie chart shows what household
waste was made up of during one year
in England.

a Which is the most common type

of waste?

..........................................................

b What percentage of the waste is

recycled (food waste, other organics
and dry recycling)?

..........................................................

2 The table shows students’ activity choices.

Activity Frequency Angle

football 63
swimming 29
athletics 88
total

a Complete the table for the total number

of students, then work out the angle for
each activity.
Check the angles add up to 360°.

b Use the circle to draw the pie chart.

Remember to give it a title and label it.

3 Draw a pie chart to show this data

on students' favourite subjects.

Activity Frequency
Maths 17
English 12
Science 16

3 The pie charts show Year 8 and Year 9 students’ preferred ice
cream flavour.

a In Year 8, 40% of the students prefer chocolate ice cream.

How many Year 8 students prefer chocolate ice cream?

.......................

b How many Year 9 students prefer vanilla ice cream?

.......................

c Kate says, ‘More Year 8s than Year 9s prefer strawberry.’

1 The pie chart shows the fruit choices of 100 students.

a Write the fraction of the students who chose

i grapes .......................

ii bananas .......................

iii apples. .......................

Emily calculates how many students chose grapes:

1
of 100 students = 50 students
2
b Use Emily’s method to calculate how many students chose

i bananas

2 The table shows the sandwich fillings customers bought in a café.

Type of filling Number of customers

cheese 40
ham 30
egg 20

a How many customers bought a sandwich? .......................

Emily draws a pie chart for this data. She calculates the angle she will use to represent one
person like this:

360° ÷ 90 = 4°

b Explain why she divides 360° by 90.

................................................................................................................................................

Emily calculates the angle for cheese.

40 × 4° = 160°

c Calculate the angles for ham and egg.

................................................................................................................................................

................................................................................................................................................

d Draw a sector with an angle of 160°.

e Draw a sector for ham.

f Measure the angle for the last sector.

Is it correct for egg?

g Colour the sectors different colours.

h Make a key to show what each colour

represents
