  • 1Recall the connection between real-life situations, tables of values, and straight-line graphs
  • 2Display a price list: Ama buys kenkey for GH₵2 per pack. Ask learners to state how much she pays for 1, 2, 3, and 4 packs orally in pairs
  • DRAWING AND USING GRAPHS OF LINEAR RELATIONS
  • 1Present the walking scenario: Kwame walks at a constant speed, covering 1 kilometre every. Using the textbook example and a ruler, guide learners to complete a table of values (time in minutes: 0, 3, 6, 9, 12; distance in km: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4) in their exercise books. Ask: Is there a pattern? Learners identify that distance increases by 1 km every time. Let learners work in pairs to keep all learners involved.
  • 2Learners plot the five points on the graph board using a ruler to draw straight lines connecting them. Call on a volunteer to identify the gradient by measuring the rise (vertical) over the run (horizontal) on the drawn line. Use the calculator to divide rise by run. Explain: this gradient tells us how fast Kwame walks—1 km per, or 0.33 km per minute. Let learners work in pairs to keep all learners involved.
  • 3Struggling learners work with pre-printed tables and only plot three points; fast finishers predict distance at 15 minutes using the gradient and check by plotting. Use pair or group support to manage the large class.

  • 1Ask: Why is drawing a graph useful for solving real problems? Learners discuss with their partner and one representative from three different pairs shares their answer (graph shows all possible values, not just the ones we calculated)
  • 2Learners write down the equation of Kwame's walk using the pattern: d = (1/3) × h, where d is distance and h is time in minutes. Learners repeat the equation chorally three times
Exercise
  • 1Ade travels by trotro at a constant speed. Each hour, he covers 60 kilometres. Draw a table of values for time (0, 1, 2, 3 hours) and distance (0, 60, 120, 180 km) in your exercise book. Plot these points on a graph board using a ruler. What is the gradient of the line? Write one sentence explaining what the gradient tells you about Ade's journey
