Course: Foundations & Pre-Calculus 10
Stage 1 – Desired Results
Outcome FP10.8: Students will demonstrate understanding of linear relations including:



Representing in words, ordered pairs, tables of values, graphs, function notation and
equations
Determining characteristics including intercepts, slope, domain, and range
relating different equation forms to each other and to graphs
[C,CN,PS,R,T,V]
Enduring Understandings:
Essential Questions:
 Identifying patterns is useful in determining
relationships
 A relationship which exhibits a constant rate
of change is a linear relationship.
 Visually, a linear function is represented by a
straight, non-vertical line.
 What patterns can be identified in a linear
relationship?
 How is the constant rate of change of a
linear relationship useful in real life?
 Explain and illustrate at least three
strategies which can be used to graph a
linear relationship.
 How can properties of linear functions be
used to solve real life problems?
 Many real life relationships are modelled by
linear functions.

function notation
 draw, with and without technology, the
graph of a linear relation given in slopeintercept, general, slope-point form, or
function notation
(continued)
 explain strategies used in graphing linear
functions
 determine the related range or domain
values of a linear function given in
function notation
 write a linear function as an equation in
two variables in slope-intercept form,
slope-point form, general form or in
function notation and explain the
relationship between the forms.
 apply knowledge and skills related to
linear relations to real life situations
Stage 2 – Assessment Evidence
Performance Tasks:
Formative:
 Participation in class discussion and
collaborative problem solving
 Completion of daily assignments - self
assess solutions, get clarification where
necessary and revise work
 Entry question – “journalize” concept
from last day’s lesson
 Exit question – skills inventory question
on concept in today’s lesson (or skills
previously learned)
 Getting it Straight! (mini quizzes) - reflect
on and revise errors after assessed
 Unit Reflections – students reflect on unit
targets they understood well and those
that need more study, and consider what
they need to do to be more successful in
the future.
Summative:
