Weds Sep 7th – Drawing Straight Line Graphs

LEARNING OBJECTIVE: To recognise a linear equation and draw the straight line graph that represents it

SUCCESS
CRITERIA: You will be able to find at least three coordinates form any linear equation that will enable you to draw the straight line that represents the equation

RULE: You can spot a linear equation as it will NOT have any squared or cubed letters in it.

BE CAREFUL IF a function has brackets in it YOU MUST expand the brackets first before applying the above rule (Give and example on IWB to demonstrate)

STARTER: Find three coordinates that are true for each of these four linear equations.

y = 3x -2

y = -5x +3

2x + y = 10

6x + 2y = 10

Use these examples above to check coordinate answers; Show how to organise answers in a table.

LESSON: Why Minimum of three Coordinates? 5 minute discussion in groups

Work through Questions 4 onwards from these questions


PLENARY: Checking Answers. Quickly find three cords for these two equations and sketch them

Y = 5x + 2, 3x + 2y = 12
