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

How Bloomi helps with this

This is a NAPLAN-year topic. Bloomi teaches it with a short explainer, guided practice, and NAPLAN-style questions — every one traceable to this exact code.

What this looks like in the classroom

• plotting points from a table of values generated using simple linear functions and recognising patterns, such as the points lie on a straight line
• discussing and using variables to create a general rule and use the rule to determine the value of the dependent variable for any given value of the independent variable; for example, plotting the value of the circumference of a circle for varying values of radius
• using function machines to generate a table of ordered pairs using input and output values, plotting the relationships on a Cartesian plane and describing the graph in terms of shape
