Sketching Quadratic Graphs (A) WORKSHEET
Suitable for Year groups: Year 10, Year 11
GCSE Tier: Higher
Targeting grades: 6-7
Prerequisite knowledge: Solving quadratic equations to find x-intercepts. Substituting x=0 to find the y-intercept. Understanding the general U-shape of parabolas.
Learning Objective: Identify and interpret roots, intercepts and turning points of quadratic functions graphically. Sketch and interpret graphs of quadratic functions.
Sketching Quadratic Graphs (A) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
Take the first step in sketching quadratic functions by focusing on the essential features: the x- and y-intercepts.
Section A presents quadratics in factorised form so pupils can read off the roots directly and practise sketching the curves with only the intercepts labelled.
Section B moves on to standard-form quadratics, where students need to factorise or use other methods to find the intercepts before sketching.
The first question of each section provides graphs that are already drawn so pupils can practise simply identifying and labelling the intercepts. By setting aside turning points, this worksheet helps learners concentrate on how intercepts define the basic shape and position of a parabola.
