  • Interpret and draw graphs of functions
  • Find and interpret a graph gradient
  • Draw a given integer-coefficient quadratic on a stated interval
  • Find the gradient of a straight-line graph from points on it
  • Read the turning point of a quadratic graph and whether it is a maximum or a minimum
