Differentiation Learning Objectives Learning Outcomes

All Recognise that equations of the form y = mx + c Understand what algebraic equation represents a
L4-5 correspond to straight-line graphs straight line

Plot the graphs of linear functions, where y is given Extend this knowledge to drawing a graph using ICT
explicitly in terms of x, on paper and using ICT.

Most Construct functions arising from real-life problems and Use real life contexts to draw straight lines
L6-7 plot their corresponding graphs.

Generate terms of a sequence using term-to-term and Use sequences with linear properties
position-to-term definitions of the sequence, on paper
and using ICT.

Some Construct functions arising from real-life problems and

L8 plot their corresponding graphs; interpret graphs arising
from real situations

Investigate the gradients of parallel lines and lines To be able to spot connections between equations and
perpendicular to these lines. lines that have the same gradient or different intercept

Solve a pair of simultaneous linear equations; link a To use graphical representations to solve two algebraic
graphical representation of an equation or a pair of equations at the same time
