Thursday, 12 February 2009 | 3 Comments In my fourth year of teaching, I’m finally happy with how teaching sector graphs went. Teaching Yr 8 to draw sector (pie) graphs sounds easy, yet has proven difficult. In producing a sector graph, there are a couple fundamentals drawn together — and connecting seemingly disparate concepts presents a roadblock for many students at our school. Here’s the sequence of lessons that I used this year: drawing circles and dividing those circles up into sectors given angles. This is where I saw students start to just take to drawing the sector graph with minimal guidance, suggesting they’d “got it”. in the fourth lesson, we applied these new found skills to critique movie posters. Four lessons which seemed to graduate nicely, and as we move on to the next type of graph, sector graphs seem complete.

By the way, Rocky seemed to be the most popular poster. Image credit: Pie Chart by net_efekt on Flickr (Creative Commons) Post a comment. NAPLAN 2011 Teaching Strategies. Strategies Students can: interpret a sector graph construct a sector graph Activities to support the strategies Activity 1 – Interpreting sector graphs When teaching students how to interpret data from a sector graph, it is important that teachers guide students to consider each of the following: identify the graph's title which indicates what the graph is about examine the sectors to identify that each sector represents part of a whole.

In this activity students will interpret data from a sector graph to make calculations which provide information about the relative size of each Australian state and territory's coastal waters as a percentage of the whole of Australia's marine area. Ask students to look at the sector graph and identify the title, the key and each of the sectors. Have students identify each of the different sectors. Discuss Which state or territory has the largest percentage of marine area?
