Full lesson	Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle}

Lesson plan

Lesson Plan

Topic

AC9M7A05: Generate tables of values from visually growing patterns or the rule of a function; describe and plot these relationships on the Cartesian plane.

Objectives

Students will be able to create tables of values from a given pattern.
Students will understand how to identify and describe the rule of a function.
Students will plot these values on the Cartesian plane.
Students will engage in collaborative learning and enhance their problem-solving skills.

Materials

Whiteboard and markers
Graph paper
Rulers
Worksheets with visually growing patterns
Computers or tablets (optional, if available for graphing software)

Grade/Age Group

Year 7

Subject

Mathematics

Class Size

20 students

Lesson Duration

30 minutes

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction	5 min	Introduce the topic of growing patterns and functions. Discuss examples and their relevance.
2	Activity: Pattern Recognition	10 min	Distribute worksheets with growing patterns. Students identify patterns and start creating tables of values.
3	Rule of Function	5 min	Explain how to derive a rule from the pattern. Students practice finding the function rule based on their tables.
4	Plotting on Cartesian Plane	5 min	Guide students on how to plot their tables of values on graph paper, ensuring they label axes correctly.
5	Class Review	3 min	Review key concepts learned in the lesson and address any misconceptions.
6	Homework Assignment	2 min	Explain the homework task: create a similar pattern, generate a table of values, and plot it.

Assessment

Informal assessment through observation of student participation and understanding during activities.
Collect and review homework to ensure comprehension.

Homework

Students will complete a worksheet where they create a visually growing pattern, generate a corresponding table of values, and plot it on the Cartesian plane. Homework will be checked but not presented in front of the class to encourage students to work independently without pressure.

Curriculum Alignment

This lesson aligns with the Australian Curriculum for Mathematics by enabling students to understand and apply concepts of functions and relationships, as specified in the Year 7 curriculum.
