PLAYING

WITH

LINEAR

AND

QUADRATIC

FUNCTIONS

The aim of this magazine is to work on the

concepts of linear and quadratic functions.

The following games have been selected for you to

learn and have fun.

The games have been set in order of difficulty

for students from 1ro ES to 4to ES.

1. Finding Patterns

Function Machine

Aim: Learn the concept of a function by allowing you to experiment

with various functions.

2. Identifying the Equation of Straight Lines

Aim: Find the equation of the line that passes through a set of given

points.

6. Identifying equations of curves

Aim: Recognise and know the sketches of quadratics, cubics and

reciprocals, including the shape of positive and negative functions and

interpretation of their y-intercepts. Also match sketches of curves to

their equations.

7. Finding the x and y intercepts of curves

Aim: Find x and y intercepts of a non linear function given the graph

and/or function.
