(Math Journal 1, p. 169)
Use Problems 1 and 2 of the Math Message to check students’
understanding of the number of degrees in a circle. Students will
need to know that there are 360 degrees in a circle when they
calculate the degree measure of each sector in a circle graph.

When students have completed Problem 4 on journal page 169,
demonstrate how to make the circle graph of the data. Draw
a circle on the board or use the circle on the transparency
(Math Masters, p. 152) and mark off sectors with a protractor.
In order to make the graph as accurate as possible, graph
the smallest category (Josh’s votes) first; graph the largest
category (Manuel’s votes) last.
Allow students to make their circle graphs on a separate sheet of
paper as you demonstrate the appropriate procedures. When the
graphs have been completed and titled, have students check them
with the Percent Circle.
4. In the space below, or on a separate sheet of paper, use a compass and

Next, work through the table on journal page 170 with the class.
Have students complete the table as you do the same on the board
or transparency (Math Masters, p. 153). The first row of the table
has already been filled in. Because some data are easier to work
with as fractions and other data as decimals, ask students to
share and explain the approach that they find most efficient for
finding the degree measures of each sector.
When students have completed the table, ask them to use a
compass and a protractor to make a circle graph of the survey
data. Students may construct the graph on the bottom of journal
page 170 or on a separate sheet of paper.

Study each method for calculating sale price.
Two-Step Method
Regular Price: $35.50
Discount: 20%
Find the sale price.
One-Step Method
Regular Price: $35.50
Discount: 20%
Find the sale price.
Step 1: Find the discount in
dollars: 20% of $35.50.
0.2 ‫ ء‬$35.50 ϭ $7.10
The discount is 20%, so the
amount of the regular price that
remains is 100% – 20%, or 80%
of the regular price.
Step 2: Subtract the discount
amount from the
regular price.
Find 80% of $35.50.

NOTE A small error in a big percentage is
relatively less important than a small error
in a small percentage. For example, if a
category is only 2% of the total and the
sector is off by 1%, that is a fairly large
error (50%). However, if a category is
34% of the total and the sector is off by
1%, the error is much less significant (only
about 3%).
