Let’s solve this step by step.
We need to count each type of insect in the picture and then color the correct number of squares in the bar chart for each one.
First, let’s list the insects we see:
- Ladybugs (red with black spots)
- Spiders (gray with 8 legs)
- Bees (yellow and black stripes, with wings)
- Ants (black, small, with antennae)
Now, let’s count them one by one.
Ladybugs:
Look at all the red bugs with black dots.
There are:
1. Top left
2. Below that one
3. Bottom left
4. Right side, top
5. Right side, bottom
6. Middle right, near bee
Wait — let’s count again carefully.
Actually, looking at the image:
Top row: ladybug, spider, spider, bee
Middle row: ladybug, bee, ant, ladybug
Bottom row: ladybug, bee, ladybug
So ladybugs:
Row 1: 1
Row 2: 2 (one on left, one on right)
Row 3: 2 (left and right)
That’s 1 + 2 + 2 =
5 ladybugs
Wait — let me recount visually:
From left to right, top to bottom:
1. Ladybug (top left)
2. Spider
3. Spider
4. Bee
5. Ladybug (middle left)
6. Bee
7. Ant
8. Ladybug (middle right)
9. Ladybug (bottom left)
10. Bee
11. Ladybug (bottom right)
So ladybugs are positions: 1, 5, 8, 9, 11 → that’s
5 ladybugs
Spiders:
Positions 2 and 3 → that’s
2 spiders
Bees:
Positions 4, 6, 10 → that’s
3 bees
Ants:
Only position 7 →
1 ant
Let’s double-check total insects:
5 ladybugs + 2 spiders + 3 bees + 1 ant = 11 insects.
Counting all images: there are 11 insect drawings. Good.
Now, the bar chart has columns for:
- Bee (first column)
- Ladybug (second column)
- Spider (third column)
- Ant (fourth column)
We need to color the number of squares equal to how many of each insect we counted.
So:
→ Bee: 3 → color 3 squares up from 0
→ Ladybug: 5 → color 5 squares
→ Spider: 2 → color 2 squares
→ Ant: 1 → color 1 square
The y-axis goes from 0 to 6, so we have enough space.
Final Answer:
Bee: 3 squares colored
Ladybug: 5 squares colored
Spider: 2 squares colored
Ant: 1 square colored
