Mr. Atkins bought thirty-two new math books for his fifth period class. Four of the books had missing odd page numbers and had to be returned. Three other books were teacher’s copies showing all of the answers so two of those had to be returned as well. Mrs. Wilson had an extra copy of the same book so she gave her extra copy to Mr. Atkins. Two dogs jumped through the window and stole two of the books, shredding them in the school yard. Using a pie graph, how many of the new books was Mr. Atkins able to keep?

Pie:  A pie graph (or circle graph) uses “slices” or “sections” to show size.  

Chart:  A chart is made up of a horizontal line and a vertical line.  The horizontal line displays advancing numbers, letters or names going from left to right along the horizontal bottom line.  The vertical line displays advancing numbers, letters or names going from the bottom to top along the vertical line.
