Secondary straight line graphs resources

Used this as revision for lower ability year 8s. There is a reminder about y = mx + c but assumes students know how to calculate the gradient. Can be modified to suit the ability of your students.

Mathematics - Graph Implicit, Explicit & Graph of a equation. Arrange the given cards in 3 sets.

A lesson for plotting and drawing straight lines, I normally use this for recapping the topic with Y8/Y9s who haven't done it for a few years. Simple structure to lesson, with differentiated questions so pupils can select based on ability.

Mathematics - Graph Activity - To find the gradient of a line Interesting activity to find the gradient of a line. For more activities, worksheets, fun games, presentation, study materials visit my shop at TES_KM

A set of 12 coordinate grids, some correct and others with common errors- uneven spacing, using different scales on different sides of the same axis, not drawing the axis on a line, etc. I often use this as a starter with older students before starting a unit on graphing to remind them of all the things they can and cannot to do. Answers included.

Clive is tackling a new topic on the GCSE curriculum, but predicatably is struggling. Four questions getting increasingly difficult requiring you to check as Clive has made mistakes. These will hopefully generate discussion in class.

Clive is tackling a simultaneous equations homework but as per usual is making errors. There are three sets of linear simultaneous equations to correct and a linear/quadratic to look at. I have tried to cover regular errors for students to spot, correct and discuss.

Hi, This lesson is based around the basic understanding of line segments and how to calculate the equation of a line. I have consistently used AfL and mini plenaries to assist students through this topic. There is a good range of differentiation and scaffolding which will cater towards middle to high ability students. Questions and answers are displayed on the PowerPoint to allow your lesson to run smoothly. The lesson consists of a start (with solutions) and will take 2 lessons to teach. Please read the above before purchasing. The learning objectives covered are: - I can find the coordinate of the midpoint of a line segment - Apply the my knowledge to find the gradient and length of a line segment - Find the equation of lines parallel or perpendicular to a given line Enjoy!

New on the GCSE syllabus, Clive is struggling with function notation icluding inverse and composite functions. Can your students check, correct and explain what Clive has done wrong in the four questions? This should encourage discussion.

A resource that is ideal if you are teaching pupils how to find the tangent to a circle at a given co-ordinate. This now appears on the new higher tier 1-9 GCSE. Included is the following: Re-cap on finding the radius of a circle from its equation Re-cap on understanding that two lines are perpendicular when gradients multiply to -1 Two examples on powerpoint & word document (see attached) that allow the teacher to model how to find the equation of a tangent to a circle. It is scaffolded into three steps: Step 1: Find the gradient of the radius to a given point on the circumference, Step 2: Find the gradient of a tangent and Step 3: Finding the equation of a tangent. One page (7 different questions) requiring pupils to find the equation of tangents. Q6 and Q7 provide extension opportunities. Plenary question - AQA exam question.

Based on the book 'Which one doesn't belong?: A shapes book.' by Christopher Danielson and the website http://wodb.ca/, this display allows pupils to look at different areas of mathematics, discussing their mathematical properties. This will enable pupils to use mathematical language and investigate what makes each one unique compared to the others.

A simple PowerPoint asking students to draw a straight line given its equation This resource is designed for students to respond on mini-whiteboards but could easily be adapted.
