Common mistakes

What learners typically get wrong, and how to fix it.

  • Uses 100 instead of 360 for pie-chart angles.

    Correction: A full circle is 360°.

  • Forgets to find the total first.

    Correction: Add all frequencies before working out fractions.

Teacher tips

  • · Have pupils check that all angles add to 360°.

Parent tips

  • · Look at charts in the news and ask what they show.

Real-life applications

  • · News infographics, survey results.
