- Australia — 5
- Tanna — 9
- Tongoa — 3

Totals: (complete the totals column by writing the number beside each island/country — numbers above are the totals)
a) Drawing the bar graph (11 marks)
Instructions (answer key cannot draw for you):
- Title your graph: "Number of Year 7 Students from Different Islands/Countries".
- Label the x-axis: "Island / Country" and list: Malekula, Pentecost, Australia, Tanna, Tongoa, Epi, Banks, China.
- Label the y-axis: "Number of Students" and mark from 0 up to at least 10 (0,1,2,...,10).
- Draw a bar for each item with the heights matching the numbers: 10, 8, 5, 9, 3, 8, 2, 4. Use a different colour for each bar.
b) Questions from the graph (8 marks)
- How many students are from Malekula? — 10
- Which islands have an equal number of students in this school? — Pentecost and Epi (both 8)
- Which island has the most students in this school? — Malekula (10 students)
- How many students are from the Shefa province? — Shefa islands listed here: Epi (8) + Tongoa (3) = 11 students
- How many students are from the Tafea province? — Tanna (9) = 9 students
- Which island has the least number of students? — Banks (2)
- How many students are from other countries? — Australia (5) + China (4) = 9 students

Map of Vanuatu — labelling and other map tasks (answers and instructions)
Because I don’t have the actual map image you have in the workbook, I cannot place pencil lines on it for you. Below are the answers you will need and instructions for the parts that must be done on the printed map:
- Label and divide the islands into six provinces — key provinces and main islands to place on the map:
- Torba — Banks & Torres islands (north)
- Sanma — Espiritu Santo (Santo) and nearby islands
- Penama — Pentecost, Ambae, Maewo
- Malampa — Malekula, Ambrym, Paama
- Shefa — Efate, Epi, Shepherd Islands (including Tongoa)
- Tafea — Tanna, Erromango, Aneityum, Aniwa, Futuna (south)
- Write ‘S’ to indicate where SOUTH always is in all maps? — Put S at the bottom of the map (south is toward the bottom).
- Name the islands indicated by the lines — (If your worksheet has numbered lines, match each line to one of these common islands: Santo (Espiritu Santo), Malekula, Pentecost, Ambae, Maewo, Efate, Tanna. Use the line positions on your map to pick the correct names.)
Cross section drawing and matching (instructions & answers where possible)
Draw a cross section of the island on your worksheet by lining up a straight frame, marking heights on the frame at contour points, and then joining the marks to make the island cross-section. (This is a practical drawing task — follow your workbook steps.)
Look at the five cross sections and match them to maps — I cannot see the small maps/cross-sections in your booklet, so I cannot give exact matches. Follow this method to match:
- Find the map that has the highest peak — match it with the cross-section that has the largest mountain height.
- If the map shows steep slopes (contour lines close together), match it to a cross-section with steep sides.
- If the map is low and flat (few or no contour lines), match it to a flat cross-section.
If your worksheet wants quick answers for the five cross-sections, you must use the images on the page to match them — I can help if you upload a photo or scan of that page.
Contour-line questions (final short answers)
When there is a steep slope contour lines are close together.
When there is a gentle slope contour lines are far apart.
There are no contour lines when the land is flat.
If you want, upload photos of the map and the five small maps/cross-sections from your worksheet and I will give the exact labels and the matching cross-section answers. I can also draw a sample bar graph image if you need one to copy into your workbook.
