About this worksheet

Read and draw circle graphs. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

I can turn a percent into degrees and back (25% of a circle is 90°), because 100% is 360°.
I can find how many students a sector stands for, how many degrees a sector needs to be drawn, or how many students were asked in all.
I can find a missing sector and say which graph fits a question.

Standard: state-only (related 6.RP.A.3c percent)

Words to know

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

sector: One slice of the circle graph.

degrees: How wide a sector is. The whole circle is 360°.

percent: Out of 100. The whole circle is 100%.

1 percent: 3.6° of the circle, because 360° ÷ 100 = 3.6°.

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

Common mistakes

Your child copied the number across, for example, 25% became 25 degrees.

Your child found the leftover part of the circle instead of the sector asked about.

Your child mixed up 100 and 360: percent is out of 100 and degrees are out of 360.

What to say

Ask: how many degrees is the whole circle, and how many percent?

Ask: is the question about the slice itself or about everything else?

Ask: how many percent and how many degrees make the whole circle?
