Funny pie charts

(27)
A few pie charts that represent funny ideas or jokes. The idea is that students get a feel for how pie charts work. I used it as a Y7 starter to generate discussion. The 'how often charts don't make sense' pie chart is particularly good for this. As always, please rate and comment with suggests and ideas. Thanks :)

Drawn Correctly? - Angles in a triangle

(2)
Students are shown 8 triangles. They have to assess if the traingles shown are mathematically valid. Some of the triangles do not add up to 180 dregrees. Some triangles have clear acute angles lables as obtuse angles. As an extention, some pupils can give written reasons WHY some of the traingles are not correct. NOTE: These are not drawn to scale, and are not to assess students ability to measure angles with a protractor. They are as a test of student's knowledge about the internal angles of a triangle.
