Comprehensive Lesson Plan (Blackburn High School)

Title Mathematics Duration of lesson 70 mins Class Size 19
Topic and Focus Number and Algebra Linear and non-linear relationships Year Level 9
Learning Intention:
To be able to find the gradient and y-intercept of a linear graph.
Success Criteria:
I can use two points to find the gradient of a graph.
Key Vocabulary List: distributive law
Key elements of standards to which lesson is

focused
Sketch linear graphs using the
coordinates of two points and
9 Numbers and Algebra Linear and non-linear relationships solve linear equations
(VCMNA310)

Solve linear equations using

8 Numbers and Algebra Linear and non-linear relationships algebraic and graphical
techniques. Verify solutions by
substitution (VCMNA284)
Assessment Strategies: Questioning, observation of work completion
Resources and Materials:
Projector, Laptop, Whiteboard, Whiteboard markers, duster, spare pens (for students that might not bring stationery, other materials).
ICT Considerations:
Projector Power Point
Common Misconceptions: Not realising that x and y are variables, that they can change depending on what we want them to equal.

Other Notes:
Get students to think about what they expect the gradient to be?
What do you expect the answer to be?
So they can check their answers.
