Students find the gradient... of a line segment (linear relationships) (Year 9, Mathematics, Australian Curriculum). This Handout forms an explicit lessons designed to assist students to learn and apply the skills required for identifying the equation of a line. Depending on how fast your students move, and the length of your lessons, this could be up to 2 lessons. This Handout has the option of an accompanying PowerPoint which scaffolds student note taking and application. I highly rec

This is a simple consolidation task linking a visual method for calculating gradient (rise over run), with the abstract method which utilised two paired coordinates on the line. Students can self-check their abstract method, by comparing it with their visual method. Explicit teaching of each method would need to occur before this task is presented. This task is used as a folio task, prior to an assessment, to be used to draw on if student is unavailable to complete the provided assessment. This
