Session Description

Linear functions are a fundamental type of function studied in detail throughout secondary school, Years 7-10, and yet many learners struggle with various aspects of them even at VCE. How might we address this? This interactive session will engage participants with a range of activities and approaches that can be used to enable students to progressively build their understanding, make connections and develop their skills in working with linear functions and models from Year 7 through to VCE.

Key takeaways:
1. A progression of key concepts, skills and processes for learning about linear functions and modelling across Years 7 – 10.
2. An approach to the integrated use of numerical, graphical and algebraic representations for linear functions. 
3. A collection of related activities and resource links. 

Remember: Participants should bring along technology with a graphing application (e.g. Desmos, Wolfram Alpha, GeoGebra, Excel) or a graphics/CAS calculator.
