Year 10 · Mathematics · Lesson Plan · $0.00 AUD

A free Year 10 maths lesson plan on sketching parabolas, the third lesson in a quadratics sequence. Students find x-intercepts by factorising, locate the axis of symmetry, vertex and y-intercept, decide whether a parabola is concave up or down and sketch graphs such as y = x² − 4. An answer key with worked solutions and extra worked examples is included.

Part of the "Quadratic Equations & Graphs" sub-unit. Aligned to AC9M10A04 (Australian Curriculum v9).

Students will:
• Find x-intercepts of a parabola by factorising
• Locate the axis of symmetry and vertex
• Identify whether the vertex is a maximum or minimum
• Sketch a parabola with key features labelled

A ready-to-teach lesson plan, supplied as PDF, editable Word (DOCX) and PowerPoint (PPTX).
