Quadratic GraphsConceptual concept
Check understanding
- Explain why x² produces a U-shaped curve rather than a straight line
- Plot a simple quadratic such as y = x² − 4 from a table of values
- Read approximate solutions from a quadratic graph (e.g., where y = 0)
“Can your child recognise that an equation like y = x² produces a curved graph rather than a straight line, and use a plotted curve to estimate values?”
