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 + c
• Most students should be able to plot a quadratic in the form y = ax² + c
• Some students should be able to plot and solve quadratic equations graphically.
