I love being an only child. My mom and dad do lots of things with me. We have a great family, just the three of us.
Then my parents had a baby. Now there are four of us. My parents spend a lot of time with the baby. I liked it better when there were only three of us.

Some of my friends have brothers and sisters too. We talked about how many people are in our family.

To help us compare what kind of families we have, we made a circle graph.
The whole circle represents the whole group. Parts of the whole group are shown as parts of the circle that look like a piece of pie. Sometimes a circle graph is called a pie graph.

By looking at the graph we can compare the amounts of our Earth that are covered with fresh water, salt water and land.
A circle graph makes it easy for us to compare parts of a whole group.
