Graphs recap and extension

Specification references (in recommended teaching order)

	Specification content	Specification notes
G11	Solve geometrical problems on co-ordinate axes
A9	Use the form to identify parallel lines Find the equation of the line through two given points, or through one point with a given gradient
A10	Identify and interpret gradients and intercepts of linear functions graphically and algebraically

The subject content (above) matches that set out in the Department for Education’s Mathematics GCSE subject content and assessment objectives document.

The expectation is that:

All students will develop confidence and competence with the content identified by standard type
All students will be assessed on the content identified by the standard and the underlined type; more highly attaining students will develop confidence and competence with all of this content
Only the more highly attaining students will be assessed on the content identified by bold type. The highest attaining students will develop confidence and competence with the bold content.
