2.60 Graph Transformations y = f(x) Higher GCSE PowerPoint Lesson

In this 34-slide lesson, students will explore how the graph of a function y=f(x) is transformed through reflections and stretches. They will investigate the effects of multiplying the function by a scale factor, both inside the brackets (horizontal transformations) and outside (vertical transformations). Reflections in the x-axis and y-axis will also be introduced and interpreted using algebraic notation. Students will use a combination of sketching, matching, and reasoning tasks to deepen their understanding of how transformations affect the shape and position of a graph.

This lesson is for the higher tier only.

The lesson includes:

• Clear, guided examples

• Discussion opportunities from Think, Pair, Share

• Mini whiteboard section to check understanding and clarify misconceptions

• One structured task to practise key skills

• Challenge activity to extend and deepen learning

Perfect for engaging learners while reinforcing essential algebra concepts.
