- Draw a straight line connecting point 1 on the top vertical line to point 1 on the bottom-left diagonal line.
- Draw a straight line connecting point 2 on the top vertical line to point 2 on the bottom-left diagonal line.
- Continue this pattern, connecting each matching number (3 to 3, 4 to 4, etc.) on the top vertical line to the corresponding number on the bottom-left diagonal line.
- Repeat the same process for the bottom-right diagonal line: connect point 1 on the top vertical line to point 1 on the bottom-right diagonal line, then 2 to 2, and so on.
- The resulting network of straight lines will form a curved shape that approximates a parabola. This happens because each straight line is tangent to the parabola at a specific point, and collectively they outline its curve.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of parabolic curve worksheet.
