About this worksheet

Circle graphs and percent summaries. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

I can turn the counts in a table into percents of the whole group that was surveyed.
I can read a circle graph or a percent bar graph and say how many students a sector stands for.
I can find a missing sector, because all the sectors add up to 100%.

Standard: state-only

Words to know

circle graph: A circle cut into sectors. The whole circle is 100% of the group.

sector: One slice of a circle graph.

percent bar graph: One bar that stands for 100%, cut into segments.

relative frequency: The count in one group out of all the counts, as a percent.

surveyed: The students who were asked. They are the whole, 100%.

ratio table: Two columns of matching amounts. Multiply or divide both columns by the same number.

Common mistakes

Your child gave the number of students instead of the percent.

Your child found the percent of the wrong group, such as the whole school instead of the students who were surveyed.

Your child read the percent on the graph as a number of students.

What to say

Ask: a percent is out of 100, so how many out of 100 would that be?

Ask: which group was asked? That group is the whole, 100%.

Ask: 25% means 25 out of every 100. If the whole group is 40 students, how many is a quarter of them?
