The Pie of Life

In this exercise, students are required to create pie charts depicting how they spend their time. Firstly, working individually, children estimate how much time they spend each week on different activities such as eating, sleeping, seeing and playing with friends, watching TV, playing on computers, working at school, playing sports, etc. Secondly, working in groups, they share their pie charts with others commenting and suggesting changes. Finally, in a group, they have to discuss and create a pie chart which outlines the ideal time allocation.
