About this worksheet

A three-page Year 6 maths sheet for drawing pie charts with a protractor. Task 1 gives the favourite pizza toppings of 24 pupils, with cheese 8, pepperoni 6, mushroom 4 and ham 6. Pupils fill in the angles using a hint that each pupil is 360° ÷ 24 = 15°, then draw the sectors on a printed circle that has a centre dot and a starting radius. They also write a title and complete a key. Task 2 repeats this for 18 people's favourite films. The key shows both finished charts. It follows England National Curriculum statistics and angle drawing.

Curriculum objectives covered

Statistics

“interpret and construct pie charts and line graphs and use these to solve problems”

Pupils turn two tables into pie charts, and each one comes with a title and a key.

Geometry - properties of shapes

“draw given angles, and measure them in degrees (°)”

Each sector is drawn with a protractor from the printed radius, using angles of 60°, 90°, 120° and 180°.

What's inside this worksheet

Favourite Pizza Toppings

A table of four toppings and a total of 24 for angles, a hint box, a circle with its first radius drawn, a title line and a key with four tick boxes.

Favourite Film Types

Pupils work out the angle for one person, 360° ÷ 18, then the angles for comedy 6, action 9 and cartoon 3. A second printed circle, title line and key follow.

Answers

The angles for both tables, 120°, 90°, 60° and 90° for pizza and 120°, 180° and 60° for films, with a completed chart for each.

How teachers use it

Demonstrate first

Draw the first pizza sector on the board. Line the protractor up on the printed radius, mark 120°, and join it to the centre. The new line starts the next sector.

Check before drawing

Ask pupils to add their angles and see 360° before they pick up the protractor. A wrong angle caught here saves a rubbed-out circle.

Marking task 2

Sectors can go in any order round the circle. Check the angles and labels, not whether pupils started with comedy.
