Mathematics Mastery

Summary

This unit considers the construction, properties and interpretation of linear and quadratic graphs.   With an emphasis on developing mastery, the unit begins by recapping on coordinates; reading and plotting values and finding the mid-point between two points.  Equations of horizontal and vertical lines are explored and developed.  Linear graphs are constructed from tables and an understanding of the form y = mx + c is developed and used to solve problems.  The gradient and y-intercept of a straight-line graph are explored, and skills developed so that students can plot a straight line from the gradient and y-intercept.  Graphs in context such as distance-time graphs are considered next, where gradient is interpreted in context.  The unit concludes with a focus on quadratic graphs; plotting them and understanding key features such as the roots, shape and symmetry of the graph.   Simple examples of finding approximate solutions to quadratic equations from a graph are given.
