Here is a short tester for my students when they return from their half term break. A fifteen question chart quiz focusing mainly on the UK but with a European / global flavour too!

The task is to identify the data series and/or the countries involved. Titles have been taken off the charts (they are bang up to date - current to 5pm, 15th Feb!) - look closely at the axes for further clues. I reckon on a score of 10/15 being very good for my students, have a you and post your answers!
