Quadratic Graphs: What do you know?

Quadratics: What do you know about this quadratic?

Students are given a quadratic equation and asked to work out:

• its factors
• where it crosses the axes
• what its graph would look like
• what it would be in completed square format
• where its minimum point is

They are then given three other quadratics to work on, but are provided with different starting information - i.e., if they have the graph, can they work out the factors?

Now with 2 additional bonus activities:

1. Properties of Quadratic Graphs Worksheets
   Students have to identify the roots, turning point, y intercept and line of symmetry from a graph or function.

2. Recognising Quadratic Graphs Activity
   Students have to match quadratic graphs to their functions by considering roots, y -intercepts and whether the co-efficient of x^2 is positive or negative.

All activities include answers.
