Narration

1

We see a happy clown with a big round nose, surrounded by clown hats, balloon animals, and juggling balls. Zoom in on her face as her nose turns into a circle graph.

Candy the clown has to classify all of her objects before the big show, and doesn't know how. But sometimes, the answer you're looking for is right under your nose -- or on it!

2

A blank circle graph with one ½ portion and two ¼ portions. Two red balloon animals, one yellow balloon animal, and one orange balloon animal.

Candy can use a circle graph to help her group and classify objects. These balloon animals come in different colors. Candy needs to divide these up and show the results in a circle graph. What will the circle graph look like?

3

The balloon animals are grouped by color. Then the graph fills in with the correct colors, with red going to the ½ portion, and yellow and orange each getting ¼ portion.

There are two red balloon animals, one orange balloon animal, and one yellow balloon animal. Each animal gets an equal piece of the circle. Two pieces are red, one piece is orange, and one piece is yellow. This is the circle graph for the different colored balloons!

5

Four hats appear: two with red flowers, and two with yellow flowers. The hats group themselves by color, then a blank circle graph appears. The graph is divided in two.

Every clown has lots of silly hats lying around, and it's time for Candy to get these organized. She'll make a circle graph showing how many have yellow flowers, and how many have red flowers. Divide the hats into two groups, then let's make a circle graph to show what we found!

6

One half of the circle graph turns red, the other half turns yellow.

Candy's got two hats with yellow flowers, and two with red flowers. The circle graph looks like this: half is red, and half is yellow!

7

Six balls appear: two red, two green, one yellow, and one orange. The balls arrange themselves by color. A circle graph appears, with two ⅓ portions and 2 ⅙ portions.

Candy's the best juggler in the whole circus, and can juggle six balls at a time. Can you help her make a circle graph showing the colors of juggling balls she has?

8

The two ⅓ portions turn red and green, and the two ⅙ portions turn yellow and orange.

Perfect! She has two red balls, one orange ball, one yellow ball, and two green balls.

9

Candy gets hit in the face with a pie.

Hey, this circle graph kind of looks like a pie. Uh oh, did somebody say pie?
