Description

The article's Table 1 lesson template for the linear function unit guides students to first familiarise themselves with the Microsoft Math Tool interface, then "use the graphical calculator to draw a graph of the linear function", then "draw the same graph using graph sheet, pencil and eraser", and finally identify and describe the y-intercept point and the gradient. This pairs visual tool-based exploration with manual construction of the same graph.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

  • Access to the Microsoft Math Tool graphical calculator interface and graph sheets for the parallel manual drawing activity

Constraints

  • The template was described for a linear function unit with objectives of drawing graphs and identifying gradient and y-intercept

Target Learners

  • Senior High School mathematics students

Learning Goals

  • drawing graphs of linear functions
  • identifying and describing gradient and y-intercept
