What percentage of the students are from non-English speaking countires?

Make a pie chart that represents the different languages spoken. Put the legends under the chart. Use colors or design to match legends to the segments of the pie chart. (Make each section of the pie equal in size to the portion that a particular language is spoken. If you were doing the piece for English it would be 5/16 of the circle).
- Use a bar graph to represent the different countries that the students are from. (Have a vertical number line on the left with the numbers 0 through 5. On a horizontal line on the bottom list the countries. Then make the bar graph).
