infoWhy this? Comparing graphs connects algebraic equations with geometric features such as gradients, intercepts, and overall behaviour. Transformations explain how changes to an equation affect a graph’s shape and position. Binomial expansion provides a structured way to expand powers and understand patterns in coefficients.

scheduleWhy now? Having encountered quadratics, exponentials, and logarithms, we can compare function types and generalise the effects of translations, stretches, and reflections. Work on straight-line graphs prepares us for circle geometry in the next unit. Secure algebraic manipulation also supports binomial expansion, establishing the foundation for fractional and negative powers in Year 13.
