4.1 - Lesson 1 - Circle Graphs (get some paper ready!)

Exploration: Sectors and Circles

1.

There are six congruent circles drawn below. Use a protractor to divide the circles
into sectors that represent halves, thirds, fourths, fifths, sixths, and eighths, as
indicated.

Collaboration: Dividing Circles into Sectors

Math Nation - Unit 7, Lesson 1 - Circle Graphs - Volume 1, PAGE 295

In the Exploration, all of the circles were divided into congruent sectors.
Data displayed in circle graphs are not typically divided equally among
each category.

1.

Use the circle on the coordinate grid to answer the
following questions.

a.

Discuss with your partner how to divide the circle
into a half and two quarters.

b.

Use a straight edge to divide the circle. Label each
sector with the fraction and percentage of the
whole circle the sector represents.

Draw

Draw lines to divide this circle into a half and two quarter.

Labelling

Now that your circle graph is drawn, label the graph with the correct percentages and fractions.

Guided Instruction: Determining Central Angle Measures

A diagram of a circle with four congruent sectors is shown.

Use the definition of a central angle to determine how many central angles are in
the circle with four congruent sectors.

Math Response

If each central angle is $$180\degree$$ , you can represent that as the fraction $$\frac{180}{360}$$ . This is because a circle has a total of $$360\degree$$ . What is that fraction in its simplest form?
