Graph transformations resources (new A level)

This set of resources includes everything you need to teach the graph transformations topic in the new A level. The printable resources will save you and your classes a lot of time which means there is more lesson time for them to practise and for you help develop their understanding.

As the topic requires knowledge of the properties of some graphs (e.g. asymptotes) the first resource can be used to see which graphs they can already sketch and to discuss the asymptotes of particular graphs.

The next resources are Geogebra files which can be used with the free Geogebra software. Each file can be used to discuss a particular type of graph transformation - there are sliders on each file that be changed or animated to see the initial graph transformed. This activity should help your class to visualise each type of transformation and start to get a feel for how the equation changes.

The notes and examples start with revising each type of graph transformation - giving some different ways the transformations can be described and what the transformation looks like using y=f(x) and with a particular curve. Once completed this is a useful revision resource and helps them complete the exercise of questions on the reverse which includes questions asking for the new equation of a transformed graph, or for a description of the transformation applied.

The final resource can be used to give your class practice of sketching transformations of y=f(x).

The answers to all questions are included, including the sketches.

Here is an example of one of my A level resources that is freely available:
