Recently we used Excel to make pie graphs of how we spend a normal school day. Firstly, we had to keep a tally sheet of how we used each hour of the day. Then we combined similar activities so that we didn’t have too many categories; this way our graph would be clear and easier to compare with the graphs of other class members. Once we had our category titles and hours, we put the information into an Excel spreadsheet and used the chart wizard to turn our data into a pie graph. Finally we got to play around with formatting options – it was interesting how all of our graphs started looking the same but ended up looking unique!
