      Multiplicative relationships presented graphically

      Lesson details

      Learning outcome

      I can use a graph to represent a multiplicative relationship and connect to other known representations.

      Key learning points

      1. A multiplicative relationship given algebraically can be represented on a graph.
      2. From the graph you it is possible to find one value given another.
      3. From a graph it is possible to describe the multiplicative relationship.

      Keywords

      • Proportionality - Proportionality means when variables are in proportion if they have a constant multiplicative relationship.

      • Ratio - A ratio shows the relative sizes of two or more values and allows you to compare a part with another part in a whole.

      • Equivalent fractions - Two fractions are equivalent if they have the same value

      Common misconception

      Incorrectly drawing a scaled axis is common.

      Use the approach where pupils count the number of intervals of the scale and divide the difference bewteen the intervals. For example, if there are 5 intervals and the difference is between 20 and 30, they divide 10 by 2, so each interval is 2

      Teacher tip

      A chanting approach when plotting the numbers on the axis allows pupils to see equal intervals and the final plotted value works correctly. This approach works equally well when an incorrect scale is chosen so pupils can see the final plotted value does not work with the incorrect interval.
