Let’s solve this step by step.
First, we need to read the bar graph. Each bar shows how many votes each bird got. The numbers on the left (1 to 8) tell us how tall each bar is — that’s the number of votes.
Looking at the bars:
-
Stork: The bar goes up to 3 → 3 votes
-
Robin: The bar goes up to 6 → 6 votes
-
Seagull: The bar goes up to 1 → 1 vote
-
Flamingo: The bar goes up to 8 → 8 votes
-
Parrot: The bar goes up to 7 → 7 votes
Now let’s answer each question one by one.
---
Question 2: Which bird has the most votes?
Look for the tallest bar. Flamingo’s bar is the tallest — it reaches 8. So, flamingo has the most votes.
→ Answer: Flamingo
---
Question 3: Which bird has the least votes?
Look for the shortest bar. Seagull’s bar only goes to 1. That’s the smallest.
→ Answer: Seagull
---
Question 4: How many votes were cast in all?
Add up all the votes:
Stork: 3
Robin: 6
Seagull: 1
Flamingo: 8
Parrot: 7
Total = 3 + 6 + 1 + 8 + 7
Let’s add step by step:
3 + 6 = 9
9 + 1 = 10
10 + 8 = 18
18 + 7 = 25
→ Total votes = 25

Question 5: How many more people prefer parrots to robins?
Parrots: 7 votes
Robins: 6 votes
Difference = 7 - 6 = 1
→ Answer: 1 more person prefers parrots than robins.
---
Question 6: How many more prefer storks to seagulls?
Storks: 3 votes
Seagulls: 1 vote
Difference = 3 - 1 = 2
→ Answer: 2 more people prefer storks than seagulls.

Question 7: Draw to add an additional vote for your choice.
This is a drawing task — you can pick any bird and draw one more block on its bar. For example, if you like robins, make robin’s bar go from 6 to 7. But since we’re not drawing here, we’ll skip this part for now — just remember to do it on your paper!

Final Answers:
2. Flamingo
3. Seagull
4. 25
5. 1
6. 2
7. (Draw one extra block on any bird’s bar — your choice!)
