Year 11
- MAO-WM-01
develops understanding and fluency in mathematics through exploring and connecting mathematical concepts, choosing and applying mathematical techniques to solve problems, and communicating their thinking and reasoning coherently and clearly
- MST-11-02
models and interprets linear relationships to solve problems and make predictions in practical contexts
- Determine the -intercept and gradient of a straight line given in graphical form
- Determine the equation of a straight line of the form where is the gradient and is the -intercept
- Determine the -intercept and gradient from the equation of a straight line
Construct a straight-line graph, with and without using graphing applications
- Model linear relationships and interpret the features of those relationships in a variety of contexts, noting that the -intercept is the vertical intercept and the gradient is the rate of change
Interpolate and extrapolate from a linear model in a practical context
Identify and describe the limitations of a linear model in a practical context
Use a spreadsheet to model a linear relationship in a variety of contexts
- Recognise that a direct variation relationship of the form produces a straight-line graph
- Explain that a direct variation relationship of the form is a graph that passes through the origin with gradient being the constant of variation
- Identify and represent direct variation of the form from descriptions of situations in which one quantity varies directly with another quantity
- Evaluate in equations of the form , given one pair of values for the variables, and use the resulting formula to find other values of the variables to solve problems in a variety of contexts
- Graph and analyse equations of the form to solve problems in a variety of contexts
