Destination Pie Chart



Gathering and interpreting data are skills that fit into any any grade level. Activities that involve polling peers can be integrated into math, social studies, or any number of other content areas.


In a 5th grade math class students created a simple survey using the tool: Google Forms.



 Students designed and shared their work by posting the link in a class document. They also  submitted responses to their classmates questions in one quick 40 minute period. 

For the next class the students looked at their results, sorted and interpreted their data then created pie charts such as this. 


Using the tools in their Google Drive these students were able to do all of these steps simply and still walk away with the essential learning. As an added bonus students genuinely enjoyed this activity!
