Patterns and number facts: Year 8 – planning tool
This planning resource for Year 8 is for the topic of Patterns and number facts. Students bring together knowledge and skills on linear functions and relations and experiment with digital tools to investigate systematic variation of parameters to show the effect. Students cement their understanding of the 'm' and the 'c' in the traditional linear function y = mx + c by observing visual transformations.
