Graphing Lines - Self Directed Lessons - Hyperdoc Style

This is a sequence of learning to help students gain an understanding of graphing lines in gradient-intercept form. It has been developed using the model of “Hyperdocs”. More info can be found at: https://hyperdocs.co/

To set this up with students in my classroom, I share the document with them, and I let them work through the first 2 phases independantly without any explanation from me. Then I meet with them to check their understanding during phase 3. If I am happy with their progress they can move on. Once they have made a nice drawing on Desmos, I have them take a practice test, which is supplied as a PDF, with answers. If students move through it quickly, encourage them to be more creative with their designs on Desmos. If they move slowly, have them make a more simple drawing.

Please note:

• Students need access to a computer or iPad or even a phone.
• This could be done in pairs or small groups.
• This could be teacher directed instead.
• You need to create a class code for the marbleslides activity on Desmos.
• The final hyperlink takes students to an online revision site called Buzzmath, and students would need to make a free account. It can easily be replaced with a mymaths.co.uk link instead, or anything else you prefer.
• I would estimate this to take anywhere from 3 to 6 one-hour classes. It is currently aimed at year 9 students.

All feedback is welcome and encouraged. I’ve shared it for free and I hope as a result you will review and suggest improvements. Enjoy!
