The graphs and some properties of seven quadratic functions are given here.
The equation of each function is given in three different forms.
Match the graph of each function with the matching equations and properties.
This activitiy is linked to Quadratic Matching 1 which you […]
(1) You are blindfolded. The audience tells you the number in Box B and you can immediately say the numbers in box C and box A.
How is this trick done?
Can you make the trick more impressive?
You can change the x 6 and + 5 to other operations and numbers […]
The Great Pyramid at Giza in Egypt was built around 2500 BC. The pyramid has a square base ABCD with sides 232.6 metres long. The distance from each corner of the base to the apex E was originally 221.2 metres.
Draw a diagram of the pyramid to show two right angled triangles […]

Cape Town is in danger of running out of water if it does not rain soon. Everyone has to avoid wasting water.
The city rationed everyone to 87 litres a day and published this poster. Explain what the pictograph shows.
Draw a bar graph from this data.
Now the ration is 50 […]

The picture shows you how to use a paper clip to draw circles. You just need to open out the paper clip as shown,
Draw a circle and mark 24 points equally spaced around the circumference. To do this, draw a circle and mark the centre, and mark your first point on […]
This baobab tree in Senegal is reported to be 6000 years old.
Try to estimate the distance around the tree trunk at its base measured in metres.
Does this picture give you an idea how you might use the picture, with your class at school, to work out a better estimate […]
