It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled
"Collecting data & making a bar graph" with the goal of creating a bar graph to show which month is the most popular for class birthdays. However,
no actual data (birthdays per month) has been provided in the image you shared — only the blank table and graph.
To solve this problem, here's how we would proceed
if we had real data. Since no specific numbers are given, I'll walk through the
steps and
example to help you understand how to complete it.

🔹 Step 1: Collect Data
You need to count how many students in your class have birthdays in each month.
For example, let’s assume the following fictional data:
| Month | Number of Children |
|-----------|--------------------|
| Jan | 2 |
| Feb | 3 |
| Mar | 1 |
| Apr | 4 |
| May | 2 |
| Jun | 5 |
| Jul | 3 |
| Aug | 1 |
| Sep | 2 |
| Oct | 4 |
| Nov | 3 |
| Dec | 2 |
> ⚠️ *Note: This is sample data. You must replace it with real counts from your class.*

🔹 Step 2: Make the Bar Graph
Now, use the bar graph on the worksheet to represent this data.
#### How to draw the bars:
- The
horizontal axis (x-axis) shows the number of children (from 1 to 12).
- The
vertical axis (y-axis) lists the months.
- For each month, color in
one square for each child born that month.
#### Example:
- January: 2 children → color
2 squares
- February: 3 children → color
3 squares
- March: 1 child → color
1 square
- April: 4 children → color
4 squares
- June: 5 children → color
5 squares (this is the tallest bar)
- And so on...

🔹 Step 3: Analyze the Graph
After coloring all bars:
- Look at which bar is the
tallest.
- That month is the
most popular for birthdays.
In our example:
-
June has 5 birthdays → the tallest bar
✔ So,
June is the most popular month.
---
✔ Final Answer (Based on Sample Data):
> The most popular month for birthdays in the class is
June, with 5 children.

📝 Instructions for You:
1. Ask your classmates their birth months.
2. Fill in the table with real numbers.
3. Color one square per child for each month on the graph.
4. Identify the tallest bar → that’s the most popular month.
