Other Graphs (Cubic, Exponential, Circle): GCSE Maths Specification and Awarding Body Information
Boring, but hopefully useful. Links to the relevant section of the GCSE Maths Specification, together with information and resources from each of the Awarding Bodies.

An overview of the GCSE Maths learning objectives that relate to this particular topic area. 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.
- A12
- Recognise, sketch and interpret graphs of linear functions, quadratic functions, simple cubic functions, the reciprocal function, y = 1/x with x ≠ 0.
- A12h
- Recognise, sketch and interpret graphs of linear functions, quadratic functions, simple cubic functions, the reciprocal function, y = 1/x with x ≠ 0, exponential functions y = kx for positive values of k, and the trigonometrical functions (with arguments in degrees) y = sin x, y = cos x and y = tan x for angles of any size.
- A14
- Plot and interpret graphs (including reciprocal graphs) and graphs of non-standard functions in real contexts, to find approximate solutions to problems such as simple kinematic problems involving distance, speed and acceleration.
- A14h
- Plot and interpret graphs (including reciprocal graphs and exponential graphs) and graphs of non-standard functions in real contexts, to find approximate solutions to problems such as simple kinematic problems involving distance, speed and acceleration
- A16h
- Recognise and use the equation of a circle with centre at the origin; find the equation of a tangent to a circle at a given point.

The lovely Mel from JustMaths has put together themed collections of questions taken from the awarding bodies’ sample assessment materials and practise papers. These should give you a clearer idea of how content may be presented and the increased level of challenge. Where possible, answers are also provided.
