Mind Map

Stages of Learning
The following stages have been identified as optimal in this unit. It should be noted that the
stages do not represent individual lessons. Rather, they are a series of stages over one or
more lessons and indicate the suggested steps in the development of the targeted
competencies and in the achievement of the stated objectives.

Activating Prior Learning


This stage aims to engage or focus the learners by asking them to call to mind what they know
about the topic and connect it with their past learning. Activities could involve making
personal connections.
Background or purpose
After the students finished discussing the topic on rectangular coordinate system, points in
the plane, coordinates of a point and plotting points, the students are now ready to to face
another concept in linear equation in two variables. This time they will be exposed to the
concept of graphs of linear equations and their properties.
In this module, the following terms are operationally defined:
slope – refers to the degree of inclination of a line relative to the horizontal line;
algebraically, it refers to the ratio of the change in y to the change in x.

LINEAR EQUATION IN TWO VARIABLES
MODULE 2 — GRAPHS OF LINEAR EQUATIONS IN TWO VARIABLES

domain – refers to all possible values of x.


range – the set of all possible values of y.
intercepts – a point(s) on the line where the line crosses/touches the x and/or y axis
(axes).
trend – refers to the direction where the line is inclined/declined (increasing or
decreasing).
steepness – another term used to refer to a slope of a line or the degree of inclination
of a line.
altitude - it is the vertical elevation of an object above a surface or sea level.

Activity
(Divide the class into group of 5 students. Choose a leader, recorder and a presenter.)
Each group will be given a specific set of activity to work with (see attached activity sheet 1.)
After 10 minutes, a representative from each group will present the group's output.

Strategy
Think, Ink, Pair, and Share; Collaborative and Cooperative Learning.

Set A
th
Each member will draw his/her line based on the income of Aling Rosing on the 30 and
st
the expected income on the 31 of October. They will investigate the line formed, share
it to a team mate and to the entire group.

Set B
The group may work collaboratively to accomplish the task set in the activity.

Set C
The group may work collaboratively to accomplish the task set in the activity.

Setting the Context


This stage introduces the students to what will happen in the lessons. The teacher sets the
objectives/expectations for the learning experience and an overview how the learning
experience will fit into the larger scheme.
Background or purpose
In the preceding activities, students were able to plot a set of points represented by the
ordered pairs and connect this series of points to have a physical representation of the
situation through its graph. In this lesson, they all be focusing on the graph of the linear
equation in two variables and its properties.

Learning Activity Sequence


This stage provides the information about the topic and the activities for the students.
Students should be encouraged to discover their own information.
Activity
Considering the set of activities you had just performed, each set represents a certain
situation represented by a line associated with ordered pairs . Algebraically, each line can be
described by an equation expressing how the two quantities are related. (For example, in set
A, it depends upon the income on the following day; in set B, it is y = 2x; and in set C, it is
described algebraically as y = 3x – 5.)
In todays lesson, we will discuss more on the graph of linear equations in two variables and its
properties, as you perform activity 2 (please see attached activity sheet 2).
Each group will work on two sets: sets 1 and 3 or sets 2 and 3.
Questions:
A:
1. What are the set of x values used in your equations? (Domain)
2. What are the set of y values used in your equations? (Range)
3. How are the two sets of values relate with one another?
4. Where does the graph of set 1 inclined? set 2? set 3?
5. At what point(s) does each line in each pair crosses the x-axis? the y-axis?
6. Describe the graph of linear function?
7. What do you observe about the graph of each pair of the equations?
8. Base from these observations what general statements can you give?
B:
1. What did you notice on all the differences in x? How about in y?
2. Are these observations true to other pair of equations?
3. Based on these observations, what general statement can you give about linear
functions?
C:
1. What did you notice to all of the ratios that you have computed?
2. How would you relate this ratio to the graph of the equation?
3. How would you relate the computed ratio to the equation of the linear function?
4. What general statements can you give about your observations?

FOR THE TEACHER:


The following points are the key concepts in this activity:
1. The graph of a linear function consists of all points that lie on the same straight line
of a given equation.

YEAR I – MATHEMATICS LEARNING GUIDE
LINEAR EQUATION IN TWO VARIABLES
MODULE 2 — GRAPHS OF LINEAR EQUATIONS IN TWO VARIABLES

2. The x-intercept is a point on the line exactly located along the x axis (where y = 0)
and the y-intercept is a point on the line exactly located along the y axis (where x =
0)
3. In the table of values, the relation between values/quantities is linear if equal
differences in x produces equal differences in y and/or vice versa.
4. The ratio of the difference in y to the difference in x is the slope of the line.
5. The ratio of the change in y to the change in x is always constant.
6. The slope of the line is the same as the value of m, in the standard form of linear
function in the form y = mx + b.

Check for Understanding of the topic or skill


This stage is for teachers to find out how much students have understood before they apply it
to other learning experiences.
Activity
After working on activity 2, you have now an idea about the graph of linear equation in two
variables, its slope, intercepts, domain, range, and trends.
To check whether you have understood the concepts presented, let's have another activity. –
(please see attached activity sheet 3).
Questions:
1. Describe how the temperature changes with the height.
2. Is the relationship of the height and temperature expresses a linear function? Why?
3. How many lines constitute the graph of the situation?
4. Describe each line.?
5. What is the slope for each line?
6. Find the equation of each line.
7. What other information can you get from each equation?
8. What is the domain of the function? range?
9. Using the given informations in the graph and table, find the temperature at the top
of Mt. Apo that is 2954 meters above sea level if the average temperature in the
Philippines' lowland areas is 28 °C. ?

Practice and Application


In this stage, students consolidate their learning through independent or guided practice and
transfer their learning to new or different situations.
Activity
To strengthen your understanding on the concepts learned, practiced and mastered, you will
work on activity sheet 4 where you can apply the learning you gained from this module in
another learning experience (please see attached activity sheet 4).

Closure
This stage brings the series of lessons to a formal conclusion. Teachers may refocus the
objectives and summarize the learning gained. Teachers can also foreshadow the next set of
learning experiences and make the relevant links.
Activity
Directions:
1. This is a card game where cards with printed graph of linear function in two
variables, forms/equation, slope, intercepts, domain, range, or trends will be
laid down on the table facing downward.
2. A player will pick two (2) cards and turn the face of the cards up.
3. If the cards match with one another, the player will take the cards out from the
group. If they do not match, the card will be returned to its original location and
position facing downward.
4. A player who luckily got exactly two cards that matches will continue his/her
turn to pick and turn two cards.
5. If a card (any of the two cards being turned up) matches/describes the cards
owned by any of the players, he/she may get that pair/group of cards from the
other player.
6. The turn will continue until all the cards in the table are taken.
7. The player who got the most number of cards will win the game.
