Maltese Cross
Age 16 to 18 Challenge Level:
Sketch the graph of $xy(x^2 - y^2) = x^2 + y^2$ consisting of four curves and a single point at the origin. Convert to polar form. Describe the symmetries of the graph.
Pitchfork
Age 16 to 18 Challenge Level:
Plot the graph of x^y = y^x in the first quadrant and explain its properties.
Slide

This function involves absolute values. To find the slope on the slide use different equations to define the function in different parts of its domain.
Curve Match
Age 16 to 18 Challenge Level:
Which curve is which, and how would you plan a route to pass between them?
Quartics
Age 16 to 18 Challenge Level:
Investigate the graphs of y = [1 + (x - t)^2][1 + (x + t^)2] as the parameter t varies.
Spot the Difference
Age 16 to 18 Short Challenge Level:
If you plot these graphs they may look the same, but are they?

Age 16 to 18 Challenge Level:
Sketch the graphs for this implicitly defined family of functions.
Scientific Curves
Age 16 to 18 Challenge Level:
Can you sketch these difficult curves, which have uses in mathematical modelling?
Sine Problem
Age 16 to 18 Challenge Level:
In this 'mesh' of sine graphs, one of the graphs is the graph of the sine function. Find the equations of the other graphs to reproduce the pattern.
How Does Your Function Grow?

This task depends on learners sharing reasoning, listening to opinions, reflecting and pulling ideas together.
Squareness
Age 16 to 18 Challenge Level:
The family of graphs of x^n + y^n =1 (for even n) includes the circle. Why do the graphs look more and more square as n increases?
Back Fitter
Age 14 to 16 Challenge Level:
10 graphs of experimental data are given. Can you use a spreadsheet to find algebraic graphs which match them closely, and thus discover the formulae most likely to govern the underlying processes?
