Lesson plan

Topic

Pie Charts

Objectives

• Understand the concept of pie charts and their purpose in representing data.
• Learn how to create and interpret pie charts.
• Apply knowledge of fractions and percentages to design a pie chart from given data.

Materials

• Whiteboard and markers
• Projector and computer (for displaying examples)
• Worksheets (includes data sets for pie chart creation)
• Compass and ruler (for drawing accurate pie charts)
• Graph paper

Grade/Age Group

Year 10 (15-16 years old)

Subject

Mathematics

Class Size

20 students

National Curriculum Alignment

This lesson plan aligns with the Irish Mathematics Curriculum for Senior Cycle, addressing data representation and interpretation.

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction to Pie Charts	5 min	Introduce pie charts. Discuss their use in representing proportions of a whole. Show examples on the projector.
2	Understanding Data Sets	5 min	Explain how data sets are used to create pie charts. Introduce the data set to be used in the activity.
3	Calculating Angles	5 min	Demonstrate how to convert percentages into angles for the pie chart using the formula (percentage/100) * 360.
4	Creating Pie Charts	10 min	Students will use the compass and ruler to create pie charts in groups using the provided data.
5	Interpreting Pie Charts	3 min	Discuss how to read and interpret the pie charts created by students. Encourage students to share their observations.
6	Homework Assignment	2 min	Assign homework where students must create a pie chart based on a different data set at home and complete questions discussing their findings. Check homework in the next class without presentations.

Additional Notes

• Encourage collaboration and communication among students during group activities.
• Assess understanding through observation during the creation process, rather than quizzes or tests.
• Provide feedback on the pie charts and homework through written comments.

Homework

Students are to create a pie chart from a different data set provided in class and answer questions related to their pie chart's interpretation. This will be checked for completion and quality without class presentations.
