| Full lesson | Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle} |

This lesson corresponds with the national curriculum expectations for understanding polynomial functions and their graphical representations.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction to Quadratics | 5 minutes | Briefly explain what quadratic functions are. Introduce the standard form (y = ax^2 + bx + c). Provide real-world examples. |
| 2 | Identifying Features | 10 minutes | Discuss the features of quadratic graphs such as vertex, axis of symmetry, and intercepts. Use graph diagrams to illustrate. |
| 3 | Graphing Quadratics | 10 minutes | Guide students through plotting a simple quadratic function on graph paper. Provide an example and let them practice with different values of (a), (b), and (c). |
| 4 | Group Activity | 3 minutes | Divide students into pairs and have them share their graphs and observations about the features. |
| 5 | Wrap-Up & Q&A | 2 minutes | Recap the key points of the lesson. Open the floor for any final questions without pressure to present homework. |
Assign students to create graphs of different quadratic functions with varying coefficients. Instruct them to analyze and write down the properties of each graph. Collect homework for review without requiring individual presentations.
