\(y = x+ \frac13 x^3-2\)

\(y = 3-(x-3)^2\)

\(y = \frac12 x + 2\)

\(y = 2x+6\)

\(y = (x-2)^2\)

\(y = -3\)

\(y = x^2-7\)

\(y = 4-x\)

\(y = \frac12 (x+2)^3\)

\(y = \frac7x\)

\(y = 8\)

\(y = 3-(x+3)^2\)

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

Example

Level 2 - Linear and quadratic graphs and equations

Example

Level 3 - Mixed polynomials

Example

Level 4 - Quadratics in the form \(ax^2 + bx + c\) given information about the coefficients

Example

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

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.

This video is from the ukmathsteacher YouTube channel.

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 10 April 'Starter of the Day' page by Mike Sendrove, Salt Grammar School, UK.:

"A really useful set of resources - thanks. Is the collection available on CD? Are solutions available?"

Comment recorded on the 23 September 'Starter of the Day' page by Judy, Chatsmore CHS:

"This triangle starter is excellent. I have used it with all of my ks3 and ks4 classes and they are all totally focused when counting the triangles."

Each month a newsletter is published containing details of the new additions to the Transum website and a new puzzle of the month.

The newsletter is then duplicated as a podcast which is available on the major delivery networks. You can listen to the podcast while you are commuting, exercising or relaxing.

Transum breaking news is available on Twitter @Transum and if that's not enough there is also a Transum Facebook page.

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.
