Linear Relations

Strand: Patterns and Relations (Patterns)
Outcomes: 1, 2

Curriculum Focus

This sample targets the following changes in the curriculum:

• The General Outcome focuses on using patterns to describe the world and solve problems, as did the previous mathematics curriculum.
• The Specific Outcomes focus on understanding the connections among patterns, their equivalent linear relations, tables of values and graphs to solve problems, whereas the previous mathematics curriculum focused on understanding the connections among patterns, their equivalent oral and written expressions and graphs to solve problems.

Linear Relations addresses the following outcomes from the Program of Studies:

Strand:	Patterns and Relations (Patterns)
Specific Outcomes:	1. Demonstrate an understanding of oral and written patterns and their equivalent linear relations. 2. Create a table of values from a linear relation, graph the table of values, and analyze the graph to draw conclusions and solve problems.

What is a Planning Guide?

Planning Guides are a tool for teachers to use in designing instruction and assessment that focuses on developing and deepening students' understanding of mathematical concepts. This tool is based on the process outlined in Understanding by Design, by Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe.

The following steps will help you through the Planning Guide:

• Step 1: Identify Outcomes to Address
• Step 2: Determine Evidence of Student Learning
• Step 3: Plan for Instruction
• Step 4: Assess Student Learning
• Step 5: Follow-up on Assessment
