Drawing graphs of quadratics

Objective: by the end of this lesson you should be able to identify coordinates on Cartesian axes (Level F for GCSE) to draw graphs of simple quadratics (Level D for GCSE)

Lets remind the names for Cartesian axes:

y-axis

origin

x-axis

Can you identify the dot (2,4) on the grid?

y 4 3 2 1 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 -1 -2 -3 -4
(2,4)

1 2 3 4

5 x

Can you identify the dot (-3,1) on the grid?

y 4 3 2 1 1 2 3 4 5 x

(-3,1)

-4 -3 -2 -1 0 -1 -2 -3 -4

Can you identify the dot (-1,-4) on the grid?

y 4 3 2 1 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 -1 -2 -3
(-1,-4) -4

1 2 3 4

5 x

Can you identify the dot (3,-3) on the grid?

y 4 3 2 1 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 -1 -2 -3 -4 1 2 3 4 5 x

(3,-3)

Worksheet

Please, draw on your grid the following dots:

(8,7) (-4,5) (-1,-1) (3,-5) (0,-8) (-8,-8) (-5,-5)

Which shapes have you got?

join them

If we draw the following dots on the grid:

-2 4

-1 1

0 0
