Quadratic Graphs (B) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

Students will use tables of values to generate coordinates and subsequently plot the graphs of 4 quadratic functions when working through this worksheet.

The quadratic functions have up to three terms and include a fractional and a negative coefficient of x squared. For each function, a table of values is provided and laid out to encourage learners to work out each part of the function separately before combining. Each time the values of x to be used are from -2 to 2.

Graphs are all plotted on separate axes, which are also pre-drawn for students. Ensure all quadratic curves are drawn using a sharp pencil.
