Students learn about plotting quadratic functions by completing a table of results and choosing a suitable scale for the axes.
As learning progresses the plots are used to solve quadratic equations graphically.
Differentiated Learning Objectives
- All students should be able to plot a quadratic in the form y = x2
- Most students should be able to plot a quadratic in the form y = ax2
- Some students should be able to plot and solve quadratic equations graphically.
