CONTEXT
For years the school authorities, learners and teachers have faced challenges in sketching school ground and others sports fields . There is need for
sketches of graphs
FACILITATOR ’S NOTES
 Prepare a CALA register of the learners
 Facilitator should allow adequate time for the sketches of the curves
 Learners should check on stationary points

BACKGROUND /CALA CONTEXT

The administration is thinking of making tracks for the Athletics field in preparing for the incoming athletics season next term. They need to
sketch the whole field for the athletics. Learners are therefore required to start practicing in class sketches under curve sketch, before they go and
try the whole field.
LEARNERS ACTIVITIES
Learners will be tasked to sketch the graphs of the following curves.
(a) List any three features that are considered when sketching a graph [4]
(b) Sketch the following graph
(iii) Y= 2x2 + 8x +6 [8]
(iv) Y=x+1/x+5 [8]
NB show all the required /essential features

How you will be assessed

The teacher will assess you on:
 Graph sketches

3
  stationary points
 behavior of the graph
 Features of a sketch graph

(a) List any three features that are considered when sketching a graph [4]
(b) Sketch the following graph
(v) Y= 2x2 + 8x +6 [8]
(vi) Y=x+1/x+5 [8]
NB showing all the required /essential features of a sketched graphs

CALA Tips
 Use the correct tools when sketching.
 Make clear neat sketch diagrams
