Circle graphs worksheets

A circle graph shows shares of a whole rather than amounts, so reading one always takes a second step. These free printable worksheets give the chart and the total, and ask how many the shaded share actually comes to.

Circle graphs worksheet — Whole percents, totals to 200, free printable with answer key

The answer key prints on a separate page.

What's on this sheet

Twenty-five percent of the circle is a quarter of it, and a quarter of two hundred is fifty. The chart says the fraction and the caption says the total, and the question cannot be answered from either alone — which is the one thing a pie chart does that a bar graph does not, and the reason it is worth its own sheet.

Why this sheet works

The slices are drawn to scale, so the picture can be used as a check. If a slice looks like about a third and the answer is not about a third of the total, something has gone wrong in the arithmetic and it will be visible before the key is opened.
