Quadratics homework or revision resource
silvestertimsilvestertim

Quadratics homework or revision resource

(0)
This resource is accompanied by an answer document. It is aimed at students who have been taught to solve problems involving quadratics, both algebraically and graphically. The questions included require students to be able to plot graphs, factorise, complete the square, use the quadratic formula, understand the meaning of solve f(x) = 0, solve simultaneous equations where one equation is quadratic, solve equations involving quotients which lead to a quadratic, and so on. A grading system based on the new GCSE specification is suggested, but this resource would be equally useful in the US. The paper can be printed onto a single A3 folded sheet and there are a total of 60 marks. It can be used as a homework or a revision resource, or to assess general understanding at the end of the topic with plenty of extension and differentiated content available.
