This four-page PDF includes a three-page worksheet and a full-page answer key. The worksheet contains five multi-part problems. Each problem presents a pie chart with a corresponding data set or scenario. Students will answer questions about the data, requiring them to make calculations and interpret the visual information. The clear layout and included answer key make it easy to use.

Skill Progression

• Guided practice: The first few problems provide heavily scaffolded questions that guide students through the process of reading the pie chart and understanding what it represents.
• Supported practice: Subsequent tasks require students to perform calculations like finding percentages and totals with less direct prompting, building confidence.
• Independent practice: The final problems challenge students to apply all the skills together, including calculating mean, mode, and range from the data represented in the chart, demonstrating independent mastery.

This worksheet follows a gradual release model, moving from guided to independent work.

Standards Alignment

This worksheet is aligned with the Common Core State Standard CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.SP.B.5, which requires students to summarize numerical data sets in relation to their context. It also supports CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.7.SP.A.2 by having students use data from a sample to draw inferences. Both standard codes can be copied directly into lesson plans, IEP goals, or district curriculum mapping tools.

How to Use It

Use this worksheet as independent practice after a lesson on pie charts and measures of central tendency. It can also be used as a homework assignment or as a formative assessment to check for understanding. For a formative assessment, observe students as they work and note if they are correctly calculating percentages and identifying the components of the chart. The worksheet should take approximately 25-40 minutes to complete.

Who It's For

This worksheet is designed for students in 6th and 7th grade learning about data analysis. The clear structure is helpful for students who need organized practice. It pairs well with a lesson on creating pie charts or an anchor chart that defines mean, mode, and range.

This worksheet provides targeted practice on summarizing and describing data distributions, a key component of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics, specifically CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.SP.B.5. By asking students to interpret pie charts and calculate measures of center and variability, it reinforces the skills necessary for statistical literacy. Research from RAND AIRS 2024 highlights the importance of data literacy skills for college and career readiness. This resource offers a practical application of these skills in a clear, accessible format, helping students to build a foundational understanding of how data can be visually represented and interpreted.
