Charting Our Birth Date Information Another Way

Today, we added another piece of information to our birth date data table. We now have 36 pieces of data to work with. Students reviewed the process of how to turn a fraction into a decimal, and then how to change a decimal to a percent. This process was used in order to allow us to make a circle (or pie) graph of our data. Remember, all graphs have titles, keys and neat displays of data.

Tonight's Homework: Create a data table showing the percentage of people in our class born on a particular day. Transfer this information into a circle graph. Be sure to include ruled lines, a title and a key!
