Graphing in Interactive Notebooks Social Studies and Science

Graphing is a great tool for students to learn to understand and convey information.   Here is a step by step way to make a circle graph.

Step one: Cut out circles.   I traced a can and then cut three different colors, but you could use more or less if desired.

Cut the radius of the circles as shown.   Remember to stop in the center. 

Interlock the circles using the slit created.

Add more colors as needed.

Below is an example in an interactive notebook. 

Graphing is a great way for student to demonstrate understanding in their notebooks.  This alternative to drawing their circle graph is engaging and meaningful to students.   It can be adjusted to show the statistics that they are wanting to show.
