Teach plotting straight line graphs with this editable, 60-slide Year 8 maths PowerPoint. Pupils substitute positive and negative x-values into linear equations, complete tables of values, plot coordinate pairs and join points to form straight lines.
This print-free resource supports whole-class projection, with pupils working in exercise books, on squared paper or on mini-whiteboards. Teaching graphs use coordinate numbers beside the actual axes, with a single origin label. Multiple-line practice answers identify each line by its question number.
WHAT IS INCLUDED?
• One editable PowerPoint containing 60 slides.
• Six retrieval questions with grouped answers.
• Six prerequisite questions with grouped answers.
• Illustrated vocabulary covering tables of values, coordinate pairs, substitution and straight-line graphs.
• A six-example I Do/We Do modelling grid with worked answers.
• Twenty individual AFL questions, each immediately followed by its answer slide.
• Thirty minimally different practice questions arranged in six controlled groups.
• Three practice answer slides, each showing two labelled graphs and their y-values.
• Eight Developing, eight Secure and five Greater Depth questions, plus a three-part Super Challenge, on one page.
• Worked answers and explanations for the differentiated tasks and challenge.
MODELLING AND GUIDED PRACTICE
The I Do/We Do grid uses three matched pairs: (1) with (4), (2) with (5), and (3) with (6). Examples include y = x + c, equations with multiplier 2, and equations rearranged from x + y = c. The rearranging examples explicitly show how to make y the subject before substituting.
PRACTICE AND PROGRESSION
The main practice page contains six groups of five equations. Pupils use x = −2, −1, 0, 1, 2 and one grid per group. Controlled changes to the multiplier or constant support comparisons between graphs. Instructions specify axis ranges and ask pupils to label each line.
Developing includes fresh plotting equations, substitution and checking a point. Secure adds rearranging, testing coordinates, working backwards, recognising patterns, correcting sign and coordinate-order errors, and choosing a suitable axis range. Greater Depth asks pupils to find missing coordinates, explain swapped coordinates, justify a third-point check and compare related lines.
SUPER CHALLENGE
A clear divider separates the challenge from the main tasks. Pupils plot two parallel lines, compare their y-values and explain why they never meet. They then find the line halfway between them at every x-value, state its equation and check three points. Worked solutions include labelled graphs.
ASSESSMENT AND ANSWERS
The AFL sequence combines plotting with focused checks on missing table entries, signs, coordinate order, equation matching and axis ranges. Immediate answers support discussion and correction.
Suitable for Year 8, KS3 consolidation, tutoring and revision. Topic reference: M932.

Straight-Line Graphs and Inequalities Bundle | I Do, We Do, You Do | Year 8 Maths | Print Free
Editable Beyond Printables Year 8 maths PowerPoints. Project modelling, practice and answers; pupils can work in exercise books. The exact TES titles and resource numbers identify every included lesson. EXACT LESSONS INCLUDED (1) M797 — Horizontal, Vertical and Diagonal Lines | I Do, We Do, You Do | Year 8 Maths | Print Free [TES 13586457] (2) M932 — Plotting Straight Line Graphs | I Do, We Do, You Do | Year 8 Maths | Print Free [TES 13586480] (3) M544 — Equations of Straight Line Graphs | I Do, We Do, You Do | Year 8 Maths | Print Free [TES 13586483] (4) M384 — Reading and Drawing Inequalities | I Do, We Do, You Do | Year 8 Maths | Print Free [TES 13587248] (5) M118 — Solving Single Inequalities | I Do, We Do, You Do | Year 8 Maths | Print Free [TES 13587322] Each lesson includes retrieval or prerequisite work, modelling, assessment checks, practice and differentiated questions with answers. Choose Developing, Secure or Greater Depth tasks for the class. Super Challenge questions extend reasoning within the topic. The presentations are editable. Keep questions with their matching answers when adapting the lesson for a particular class. The bundles overlap: lessons also occur in the relevant subject collection and complete Year 8 collection. Check the list before buying twice. Use the presentations in sequence or select a lesson for targeted KS3 revision. Allow pupils time to explain their methods and check their answers. Print free means worksheets are not required; pupils may need exercise books, squared paper or geometry equipment for particular tasks. These are original Beyond Printables teaching resources; they are not official Sparx products or access to the Sparx platform. The lesson files are separate PowerPoints, so a teacher can locate and reopen a single topic without working through the whole bundle. Teachers can pause on a modelled example, invite a pupil explanation, then reveal and discuss the worked answer before continuing. The guided examples support this classroom routine. The independent questions are intended for written working, not just a final answer. Pupils can compare a calculation, diagram or explanation with the displayed answer and correct it. A teacher can start a lesson with retrieval, use the checks on mini-whiteboards and direct pupils to practice suited to their current understanding. The presentation can be revisited later. For a revision lesson, select a short run of examples and practice rather than presenting every slide. For first teaching, allow more time for discussion and checking misconceptions. Where a question asks for reasoning, encourage pupils to state why the method applies. Comparing two plausible approaches can expose an error before pupils move to a new example. Editable slides make it possible to adapt a number or context for a class. Recheck the corresponding worked answer whenever a question is changed.
