Estimating Area Under a Graph (A) WORKSHEET

Suitable for Year groups: Year 10, Year 11
GCSE Tier: Higher
Targeting grades: 8-9
Prerequisite knowledge: Coordinates, area of triangles, rectangles and trapeziums.
Learning Objective: To be able to estimate the area under a curved graph using triangles and trapeziums.

Estimating Area Under a Graph (A) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

This worksheet will scaffold the method required for estimating the area under a curve.

Section A gives some compound polygons formed on coordinate axes, bounded by the x-axis and y-axis. Learners need to use the coordinates and other information to find the area of the shapes.

Section B then gives three curved graphs which have the strips provided for an estimate of the area to be found.

Section C then asks for learners to use 4 strips to find estimated areas for two more curves.

All worksheets are created by the team of experienced teachers at Cazoom Maths.
