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.

To explain how the patterns of numbers arise:
Either multiply by (10 – 1) instead of multiplying by 9
or use the table below, first completing the calculations on each line.
Work out the different numbers to replace the question marks.
What do you notice about the patterns in these calculations?
Can you explain why this pattern occurs?
If you have Multilink cubes, sometimes called Unifix cubes, then you will find this collection of 17 learning activities will give you many good ideas for using the cubes in teaching any age group from the youngest to the oldest learners in school. (Click here to DOWNLOAD the booklet).
This square of squares pattern has edge length 5 squares. You could make this pattern with 48 matchsticks.
Work out the number of edge squares and the number of lines (matchsticks) needed to make the pattern with: side length 6 side length 25 side length 100 side length n.

Imagine you have four bags containing a large number of 1s, 4s, 7s and 10s.
You can choose numbers from the bags and add them to make different totals. You don’t have to use numbers from every bag, and there will always be as many of each number as you need.
Choose some […]
Multiply out these expressions:
What do you notice?
Does this pattern continue?
Can you prove it?
What does this tell you about the sum to n terms of the geometric series with first term 1 and common ratio r?
Why do we get a formula for all values of r except r = 1?
Explain […]
What can you see in this diagram?
Could you draw it? Could you draw a similar diagram with just 5 or 6 points around the outside? Try it?
How many lines are there in your diagrams? How many lines are there in the original diagram? Can you find a way of working out […]
