Let's solve the bar graph worksheet step by step using the information from the bar graph titled
"Insects caught in the net."
Step 1: Understand the Graph
The bar graph shows four types of insects:
-
Bees (orange bar)
-
Spiders (yellow bar)
-
Ants (green bar)
-
Ladybugs (red bar)
Each bar’s height corresponds to the number of insects caught, as shown on the vertical axis (from 0 to 8).

Step 2: Read the Values from the Graph
-
Bees: The orange bar reaches up to
4, so
4 bees were caught.
-
Spiders: The yellow bar reaches up to
2, so
2 spiders were caught.
-
Ants: The green bar reaches up to
3, so
3 ants were caught.
-
Ladybugs: The red bar reaches up to
7, so
7 ladybugs were caught.
