Section outline


  •  The mathematical meaning of the following as each word is the buliding block for the next.

      Straight line, Number line, integers,  x and y axis, independent variable, dependent variable, coordinates, negative gradient, positive gradient, point of origin,  function of x as f(x), when f(x) =0 then y=C (Constant), y intercept, right angled triangle, hypotenuse, similar triangles, ratio, equivalent fractions, unit rate, enlargement, proportion, HCF to simplify fractions,  parallel lines,  linear, equation.

    Must know: Use of protractor, ruler, Timestable, Basic Facts,  sum of interior angles of a triangle, fraction of a  number as fraction times a number.

    Learning intentions for next 5 weeks: 

    STEP BY STEP on graph paper, pencil, super neat. Highlight each line once you have passed the test.

    WEEK 6.

    1. . Drawing the number line accurately as the foundation for further learning on graph paper
    2. Using the number line to recall (<) less than, (>) greater than
    3.  Using the number line to understand integers 
    4. 4 application of integers
    5. Using the number lines to understand x axis ( independent variable) and y axis ( dependent variable)
    6. Using the x and y axis to understand angles, parallel lines, gradient, coordinates

    WEEK 7

    1. Drawing when x =0 it becomes the y axis, when y=0 it becomes the x axis
    2. Using x = 0, y= 0 as the point of origin
    3. Relationship when x=0 and gradient
    4.  Gradient as hypotenuse of right angled triangle

    WEEK 8

    1. Using right angled triangles of common hypotenuse (gradient) to form similar triangles
    2. applying equivalent fractions to calculate unknown side
    3. Creating a rule for similar triangles
    4. Using similar triangles for enlargement and ratio
    5. Using similar triangles to understand unit rate, height /base ( rise/run =m)
    6. Using unit rate as m to calculate a change in x to figure out y
    7. Figuring out what the hypotenuse (Gradient) represents in a graph and its applications.

    WEEK 9 .

    1. Using table method for x and y
    2.  table method to calculate y
    3. create a general rule (equation) 

    WEEK 10 Extention: 

            1. In y=mx+c. When f(x) =0 then y=C. When f(x) = 1 in Run, as in Rise /Run, then Rise =m 

             2. Use right angle triangle for pythagoras rule.

            3. Trig functions, for a given angle the ratio of the lengths of sides are fixed so rules can be applied.

             4. Transition from linear to quadratic function. 

              5.  Planet Earth: Use x, y axis as equator and Prime Meridian, lats and longs, time difference,  GPS, seasons, location, bearings, protractor, cardinal directions, compass directions.

               6. The Scientific Method: y=mx+c.


    Success Criteria: Explore : What I need to know to solve problems in context - I can go to the next step of my learning  from the previous week when I can successfully show my previous learning steps with reasoning. 

    Focus: Now that I have my maths and stats knowledge from each week:  I can create strategies to solve maths and stast  problems in context in a meaningful way I can understand.

    Plan and do: I can ask questions, plan and solve problems with each week's learning across the curriculum applying my maths and stats knowledge.


    Activities:

    1. Introduction and class management and lesson management system
    2. whole class teaching; ref  slides.
    3. test on lesson 10 mins. Not successful? ask a friend. Do test again. Not clear?  Arrange Google meet with me.
    4. Mathsbuddy check to support learning not as HW to be completed.
    5. Learing intentions list: Where am I?  Highlight ones you have passed. Check next slides for tasks.
    6. Sit on tables that have common tasks on slides.

    Home learning:
      Complete class work, copy claaswork to exercise book and any mathsbuddy /EP task linked to classwork
