Day/Date: Tuesday/ 18-3-2024 Subject: Math Class: 9t
Duration: 30 Week:10 Term: 2
Topics: Straight lines and quadratic Equations
Lesson Objective: Lesson Outcomes:
find the gradient of a straight line graph find the gradient of a straight line graph
Learning Activities:
Engage: Activity: Present students with real-world scenarios involving slopes (e.g., a
ramp for wheelchairs, a zipline, the roof pitch of a house).
Discussion: Ask students how they would describe the steepness of these
slopes. Introduce the concept of gradient as a mathematical way to represent
steepness in linear relationships.
Explore : Group Work: Divide students into pairs or small groups. Provide them with
graph paper and markers or rulers.
Task: Students create sets of lines with different slopes on their graph paper.
Encourage them to discuss and record their observations about the steepness
and direction of each line.
Explain :Demonstration: Guide the class through the formula for calculating the
gradient (m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)), using clear visuals on the coordinate plane.
Practice: Explain how a positive gradient indicates a line slanting upwards from left to
right, a negative gradient indicates a downward slope, and a zero gradient represents a
horizontal line.
Elaborate: Exercise Practice: Provide students with questions from book containing
various graph representations of lines.
Task: Students calculate the gradient of each line using the formula and identify
its direction (upward, downward, horizontal) based on the calculated value.
Differentiation: For advanced students, include graphs with slopes involving
fractions or decimals. Offer manipulatives (algebra tiles, graph paper) to students
who might benefit from a more visual approach.
Evaluate Exit Ticket: Provide an exit ticket with a graph of a line and ask students to
calculate its gradient and interpret its direction.

Day/Date: Thursday/ 19-3-2024 Subject: Math Class: 9t
Duration: 30+30 Week:10 Term: 2nd
Topics: Straight lines and quadratic equations
Lesson Objective: Lesson Outcomes:
find the gradient of a straight line graph find the gradient of a straight line graph
recognise and determine the recognise and determine the
equation of a line equation of a line
Learning Activities:
Engage :Review: Briefly review the concept of gradient and its relation to the
steepness and direction of a line.
Challenge: Show students two lines with different gradients on the coordinate
plane. Ask them to predict the equation for each line based on the observed
gradient.
Explore :Think-Pair-Share: Write the general equation for a slope-intercept line (y =
mx + b) on the board. Divide students into pairs.
Task: Students discuss what each variable (m, x, c) represents in the equation
and how it relates to the line's graph. Encourage them to share their thoughts
with the class.
Explain :Explanation: Provide a clear explanation of how the slope (m) corresponds to
the gradient and how the y-intercept (c) determines the line's intersection point with the
y-axis.
Examples: Demonstrate how to use the slope-intercept form to find the equation
of a line given its gradient and y-intercept, and vice versa.
Elaborate :Students will solve questions 3 and 4 from ex 10.4 .
Evaluate :Group Presentation: Have each group present their chosen problem and
the corresponding linear equation to the class. This allows for peer learning and
identifying diverse approaches.
Self-Assessment: Provide students with a self-assessment questions reflecting
on their understanding of gradient and recognizing equations of lines. They can
answer questions like, "How can I use the gradient to write the equation of a
line?" or "What does the y-intercept tell me about the graph of the equation?"
Differentiation:
Offer additional support or resources to students who might need clarification on
the concept of slope-intercept form.
For advanced students, peer teaching.
Homework: topical questions

Duration: 30 Week:10 Term: 2nd
Topics: sets test
Lesson Objective: Lesson Outcomes:
Assess objectives of the topic sets. Assess objectives of the topic sets.
Daily Lesson Plan
Learning Activities:
Starter Activity :
Begin by reviewing the different topic sets covered throughout the unit/course.
Briefly discuss the main concepts associated with each set.
Ask students to reflect on their confidence level in each topic set using a quick
thumbs-up, thumbs-down, or sideways thumbs strategy (thumbs-up: confident,
thumbs-down: unsure, sideways thumbs: need review).
Discussion:
Briefly introduce the concept of formative assessment as a tool to identify
learning gaps and improve understanding.
Practice:
Distribute the test containing a mix of questions from different topic sets.
Encourage students to answer the questions to the best of their ability and show
their work for calculations or problem-solving tasks.
Remind them that this is not a graded assessment, and its purpose is to help
them gauge their understanding.
Recap :
Once students complete the test, dedicate some time for group discussion.
Have students compare their answers with a partner or small group. This can be
done without revealing answer keys to encourage discussion and peer learning.
Briefly address any common misconceptions or areas where confusion might
exist.
Encourage students to identify topic sets where they felt confident and areas
where they need further review.

Daily Lesson Plan
Activity: Present students with a set of graph paper strips with various lines
drawn on them.
Discussion: Divide students into pairs. Ask them to work together to identify
which lines on the strips are parallel. Encourage them to discuss their
observations and reasoning.
Group Work: Provide students with graph paper, rulers, and markers (different
colors).
Task: Instruct students to draw two parallel lines on their graph paper.
Encourage them to measure the slopes of each line using the rise-over-run
method.
Demonstration: Guide the class through a clear explanation of how parallel lines
have the same gradient (slope) regardless of their y-intercepts.
Visual Aid: Use a prepared diagram or animation on the board to visually
demonstrate parallel lines with the same gradient but different y-intercepts.
Exit Ticket: Provide an exit ticket with a graph of a line and ask students to write
the equation of a possible parallel line.
Peer Assessment (Optional): Have students swap their worksheets with a
partner and peer-assess each other's work using a pre-defined rubric focusing on
identifying the correct slope for the parallel line and writing the equation in a valid
format.
