Students complete a bar graph using data from a table of farm animals on Farmer Ted's farm.

You're working on a bar graph worksheet based on data from Farmer Ted’s farm. The table gives you the number of each type of animal:

| Animal | Count |
|----------|-------|
| Chickens | 30 |
| Cows | 10 |
| Pigs | 15 |
| Sheep | 20 |
| Dogs | 5 |

✔ Step-by-Step Instructions to Complete the Bar Graph:

#### 1. Title Your Graph
Write a clear title at the top of the graph, such as:
> “Number of Animals on Farmer Ted’s Farm”

---

#### 2. Label Both Axes

- Horizontal Axis (X-axis): Label this with the types of animals:
→ Chickens, Cows, Pigs, Sheep, Dogs
(Place each label under its own bar.)

- Vertical Axis (Y-axis): Label this with “Number of Animals”
(This shows how many animals there are for each category.)

---

#### 3. Provide a Scale

Look at your Y-axis — it has grid lines. You need to decide what each line represents.

Since the highest number is 30 (Chickens), and there are about 10 grid lines vertically, you can use a scale of 3 per grid line (since 3 × 10 = 30).

✔ Recommended Scale: Each grid line = 3 animals

So:
- 1st line = 3
- 2nd line = 6
- 3rd line = 9
- 4th line = 12
- 5th line = 15
- 6th line = 18
- 7th line = 21
- 8th line = 24
- 9th line = 27
- 10th line = 30

*(If your grid has more or fewer lines, adjust accordingly — e.g., if only 6 lines, use 5 per line: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30.)*

> 💡 Tip: Always choose a scale that makes your bars fit neatly and clearly within the grid.

#### 4. Graph the Data

Draw a vertical bar for each animal, reaching up to its correct number:

- Chickens (30) → Draw bar to the 10th line (if scale = 3 per line)
- Cows (10) → Draw bar to just above the 3rd line (since 3×3=9, so ~3⅓ lines — or round to nearest line if needed)
- Pigs (15) → Draw bar to the 5th line (3×5=15)
- Sheep (20) → Draw bar to between 6th and 7th line (3×6=18, 3×7=21 → so 20 is closer to 7th)
- Dogs (5) → Draw bar to just below the 2nd line (3×1=3, 3×2=6 → 5 is between them)

> 🖍️ Use a ruler to draw straight bars. Color or shade each bar if allowed.

📊 Final Tips:

- Make sure bars are evenly spaced and same width.
- Don’t forget to write numbers next to the Y-axis if your teacher requires it.
- Double-check that each bar matches the table data.

🎯 Completed Graph Summary:

You’ll have 5 bars:

- Chickens: Tallest bar (30)
- Sheep: Second tallest (20)
- Pigs: Middle height (15)
- Cows: Shorter (10)
- Dogs: Shortest (5)

This visual will clearly show which animals are most and least common on Farmer Ted’s farm!
