Effective Practices for Description of Science Content – Pie Charts

Pie Chart

Guidelines:

  • Pie charts should be converted into accessible tables.
  • It is not necessary to describe the visual attributes of the charts, e.g., red wedge, blue lines, etc., unless there is an explicit need such as an exam question referring to these attributes.
  • It is helpful to list the numbers from smallest to largest, regardless of how they are presented in the image.

Description:

The figure is a pie chart. The data can be shown in the following table.
