# Graph Match

## Match the graphs with their equations. A self-marking, drag-and-drop mathematical exercise.

##### GradientLevel 1Level 2Level 3Exam-StyleDescriptionHelpMore Graph Activities

This is Level 1 (Linear graphs and equations). Match the graphs with the corresponding equations.

$$y = 2x + 5$$

$$y = x - 1$$

$$y = 4 - \frac12 x$$

$$y = x + 3$$

$$y = x + 1$$

$$y = 2-x$$

$$y = - x$$

$$y = x + 2$$

$$y = x$$

$$y = \frac12 x + 3$$

$$y = 2x − 1$$

$$y = 2x + 1$$

The diagrams were created in Autograph.

Gradient - A pre-requisite for doing the graph exercises is being able to calculate the gradient of a line.

Level 1 - Linear graphs and equations

Level 2 - Linear and quadratic graphs and equations

Level 3 - Mixed polynomials

Exam Style questions are in the style of GCSE or IB/A-level exam paper questions and worked solutions are available for Transum subscribers.

More on this topic including lesson Starters, visual aids and investigations.

Answers to this exercise are available lower down this page when you are logged in to your Transum account. If you don’t yet have a Transum subscription one can be very quickly set up if you are a teacher, tutor or parent.

For straight line graphs arrange the equation in the form $$y = mx + c$$ where $$m$$ represents the gradient of the line and $$c$$ the y-intercept.

Maybe this video will remind you of some of the techniques for recognising graphs.

The most important thing is to talk to your teacher if there is anything you don't understand about this topic.

Mathematicians are not the people who find Maths easy; they are the people who enjoy how mystifying, puzzling and hard it is. Are you a mathematician?

Comment recorded on the 17 November 'Starter of the Day' page by Amy Thay, Coventry:

"Thank you so much for your wonderful site. I have so much material to use in class and inspire me to try something a little different more often. I am going to show my maths department your website and encourage them to use it too. How lovely that you have compiled such a great resource to help teachers and pupils.
Thanks again"

Comment recorded on the 24 May 'Starter of the Day' page by Ruth Seward, Hagley Park Sports College:

"Find the starters wonderful; students enjoy them and often want to use the idea generated by the starter in other parts of the lesson. Keep up the good work"

#### Tran Tunnels

Answer the questions as you find your way through the tunnels. Collect coins on the way. There's a musical theme to this adventure game and you won't be able to complete it unless you solve all of the clues.

## Go Maths

Learning and understanding Mathematics, at every level, requires learner engagement. Mathematics is not a spectator sport. Sometimes traditional teaching fails to actively involve students. One way to address the problem is through the use of interactive activities and this web site provides many of those. The Go Maths main page links to more activities designed for students in upper Secondary/High school.
