Drawing Gradients (A) WORKSHEET

This worksheet focuses on drawing straight lines with positive and negative integer gradients on square grids. Start your students here before moving on to drawing gradients on axes or plotting straight lines using the gradient and y-intercept.

Ensure pupils use a pencil and ruler as they draw eight straight lines on separate square grids in section A. Gradients include +1, -5, +4 and more. In section B, learners will progress to drawing four straight lines with a given gradient on one coordinate grid.

If your students are already familiar with the equations of straight-line graphs, they can complete section C too. Here they will write down the equation of each line they have drawn in section B.
