Steps:$(i)$ Drawing a histogram for the given data.
$(ii)$ Marking the mid$-$point at the top of each rectangle of the histogram drawn.
$(iii)$ Also, marking mid$-$point of the immediately lower class$-$interval and mid$-$point of the immediately higher class$-$interval.
$(iv)$ Joining the consecutive mid$-$points marked by straight lines to obtain the required frequency polygon.
