Graphing Linear and Quadratic Functions
Students will sketch graphs of linear and quadratic functions, identifying key features like intercepts and turning points.
Key Questions
- What are the key features of a linear graph and how do they relate to its equation?
- How can we identify the x-intercepts, y-intercept, and turning point of a quadratic graph?
- How do changes in the equation affect the shape and position of linear and quadratic graphs?

Planning templates for Mathematics
5E Model
The 5E Model structures lessons through five phases (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate), guiding students from curiosity to deep understanding through inquiry-based learning.
unit plannerMath Unit
Plan a multi-week math unit with conceptual coherence: from building number sense and procedural fluency to applying skills in context and developing mathematical reasoning across a connected sequence of lessons.
rubricMath Rubric
Build a math rubric that assesses problem-solving, mathematical reasoning, and communication alongside procedural accuracy, giving students feedback on how they think, not just whether they got the right answer.
