Answer Key

Pagination of an infographic or dashboard

Section A: Quick Questions

A — Split the charts across several pages, each with one clear message

A — Page 1 shows sales by region, page 2 shows sales by month

B — In a planned order that follows the story, such as overview then detail

A — Page numbers or tabs such as 1 of 4 or Overview, Sales, Costs

B — Title, filters and page number placed in the same position on every page

Section B: Match the Pairs

pagination → Dividing content across separate pages or screens in a planned order so each holds a manageable amount

Page 2 of 5 → A page number that shows the viewer where they are in the planned order

One message per page: each page of the dashboard focuses on a single key point → Page 3: Sales by region only

Consistent page layout: the title, footer and page number sit in the same place on every page → Title top left, page number bottom right on all pages

Page 1: sales, costs, staff, weather, survey, map and forecast all together → Too much content is crammed onto one page, so the content is not divided into manageable amounts. Split it into pages with one message each.

Pages: 4, 1, 5, 2, 3 with no page numbers or tabs → The page order is random and there are no page numbers or tabs. Pages need a planned order and clear navigation.

Section C: Definitions

pagination — Dividing content across separate pages or screens in a planned order, so each holds a manageable amount, such as one message per page.

Section D: Fill in the Blanks

charts = ["Sales", "Costs", "Profit"]
perPage = 1

perPage = 1
pages = len(charts) // perPage

pages = 3
for page in range(1, pages + 1):
    print("Page", page, "of", pages)

if page < pages:
    print("Next page")

header = "Sales Dashboard"
for page in range(1, 4):
    print(header, "- Page", page)

Section E: Spot the Error

B — Pagination gives each page a manageable amount of content, ideally one message per page. Setting messagesPerPage to 8 overloads each page. It should be 1.

D — The loop must move forward through the pages in order. Subtracting 1 sends the reader backwards, so the loop never ends. It should be page ← page + 1.

C — Navigation needs a separate Back control. Testing for Next twice means the Back button never works. The condition should be button = Back.

A — Paginated pages need a consistent layout so readers always know where to look. Using a new layout on every page breaks this. It should be same on every page.

C — Each tab or page should hold one message. Showing all messages at once defeats the purpose of pagination. It should show one message per tab.
