Answer 1

Mrs Pelo can collect the birthday data for every learner.

She can proceed to record the data using tally marks and presenting the data pictorially.

She can then proceed to interpret the data using charts through the use of Tally marks to indicate every season by each learner's date.

Subsequently, the teacher can tabulate the data on two columns: One on the learner's birth data and the other column on their birth seasons based on tally. The chart would represent the information in the form of a picture making it easy for the learners to interpret and understand the various seasons.
