GCSE Maths Graph Mistakes
Graph questions test accuracy as well as understanding. A small plotting or scale error can affect the whole answer.
Common Graph Mistakes
- Reading the scale incorrectly
- Plotting points in the wrong order
- Mixing up x and y coordinates
- Calculating gradient incorrectly
Exam tip: Always check the scale before plotting or reading values.
Common mistake: Coordinates are written as x first, then y.
