Here are the key points about the formula representation of sunflower growth:
The height of sunflower a on any day t is given by the formula h = 3 + 2t.
This formula says that the starting height (y-intercept) is 3 cm, and it grows at a constant rate (slope) of 2 cm per day.
The variables are t (time in days) and h (height in cm). The constants are the y-intercept of 3 and the growth rate (slope) of 2.
So the y-intercept of 3 appears as the first term in the formula, and the slope of 2 appears as the coefficient of t, the time variable.
Here are the steps to solve this problem on your whiteboard:
1. Draw axes and label them
2. Write the equation: y = 2x + 1
3. Plot the y-intercept by substituting x = 0. This gives y = 1
4. Plot another point by substituting a value for x, like x = 1. This gives y = 3
5. Draw the line through these two points
6. Write the equation again under the graph
7. Identify the slope as 2 (from the coefficient of x)
8. Identify the y-intercept as 1

Okay, let's break this down step-by-step:
* The population is dropping at a rate of 255 people per year
* We want to know how long it will take for the change in population to be 2,040 people
* So we set up an equation: Rate x Time = Change
* Rate is -255 people/year
* Change is -2,040 people
* So the equation is: -255x = -2,040
* Solve for x: x = 2,040/-255 = 8 years
Therefore, it will take 8 years for the change in population to be 2,040 people.

45. Story: How to ask for Pocket Money
“I only want you to give me pocket money for the month of July.
All I want is for you to give me 2 c on the first day of the month,
double that for the second day, and double that again for the 3rd
day... and so on.
On the first day I will get 2 c, on the 2nd day 4 c, on the 3rd day
8c and so on until the end of the month. That is all I want.”
Is this a good deal for my parents
or is it a good deal for me?

Can you see a pattern in the table? What is the key to this pattern? Students link between words and table. What is the key to this pattern? Can they see that the unit is 3, it repeats every 3. Green is 3 6 9 12 The first green is 3 The second green is 6 The third green is 9 Can they begin to see 3 x 1 st green block is the 3rd position Can they see that 3 x 2 nd green block is the 6th position Can they see that 3x 3 rd black block is the 9 th position 3 is the key Three times every green block gives the position Can they arrive at.....3n If you know where the green blocks are you can get the one before it to be black every time. Can students move from these words to: The one before green is black Can they arrive at 3n – 1. And then to 3n - 2
Identify patterns table words graph formulae Dependent (rate of change) independent variable Start amount in the graph / table/ formulae y intercept Rate of change of dependent variable in the table graph (slope) formula Linear graphs constant first differences between successive y values (outputs) Parallel lines have the same slope that is the rate of change of y with respect to x Increasing functions with positive slope

Constant rate of change What varies is the variable. Here we have 2 variables days and amount of money Which variable depends on which? We call one variable the dependent variable and we call the other variable the independent variable. Which is which above? The values which stay the same are constants....constant rate of change Is there a pattern? Where is the start amount of money in the table? Where is the “rate of change of money per day” in the table
Draw a graph for Mary and John Which variable should go where? Days Amount of Money Independent on X-axis, Dependent on the y-axis X values as inputs and y values as outputs What observations can you make? How is each observation seen in the graph How is each observation seen in the table Are the amounts ever the same. Explain
Where do you see starting values and growth rates in the tables ? (day 0 values and first differences) W hat do you notice about all the first differences? 2 Can students put this into words what they see in the table that is John starts with €4 and each day he gets another 2 How would you get what John has on the ??? Day Only words at ordinary Total = Starts + 2 (Number of Days) T = s + 2 d T = 4 + 2d
Adds 2 every day is the pattern Start is €0 The growth of money is seen is seen in the right hand column Each successive output increases by 2 Dependent (rate of change) independent variable Start amount in the graph / table/ formulae y intercept Rate of change of dependent variable in the table graph (slope) formula Linear graphs constant first differences between successive y values (outputs) Parallel lines have the same slope that is the rate of change of y with respect to x Increasing functions with positive slope
Where is the ‘start height’ for each plant seen in the tables ? Where is the amount the plant grows by each day seen in the tables? What do you notice about the first differences between successive outputs for all the tables? For each of the situations and tables (a), (b), (c), and (d) identify 2 values which are staying the same and 2 values which are varying. Situation and Table Varying Staying the same We call the values which vary ‘ variables ’ and the values which stay the same ‘ constants ’ . We have identified 2 variables. Which variable depends on which? We call one variable the dependent variable and we call the other variable the independent variable.
Where do you see starting values and growth rates in the tables ? (day 0 values and first differences) What do you notice about all the first differences?

Graphs are straight lines with constant first differences They have a constant rate of change. You can see this in the table – constant first differences between successive outputs for consecutive inputs When the left hand column goes up by a constant amount the right hand column goes up by a constant ( not necessarily the same as for the left hand column) amount. The slope is the difference between 2 outputs divided by difference between the corresponding inputs. The bigger the slope – the steeper the graph The formula has an amount you multiply the independent variable by and an amount you add - the slope and y – intercept respectively. If the graph goes through (0,0) the amount you add is 0
Various Slopes
Line with constant slope Monica decided to plant a plastic sunflower in the garden whose height was 30 cm. Draw up a table and plot a graph of the height of the sunflower from day 0 to day 5. What shape is the graph? Why is the graph this shape? As the number of days increased what happened to the height of the sunflower? What is the slope of the graph? What formula would describe the height of the sunflower? Line with a negative slope: You have €40 in your money box on Sunday. You spend €5 on your lunch each day for 5 consecutive days (take Monday as day 1). Draw up a table, plot the graph, calculate the slope and write the formula for the situation. If this pattern continues will you ever have €0 in your money box? If so, when? Is sunflower growth a realistic situation for negative slope? As the variable on the x -axis increases what happens to the variable on the y -axis? Can you think of other real life situations which would give rise to linear graphs with negative slopes? (e.g. volume of heating oil in a tank against time in days, assuming constant rate of usage per day, paying off a loan, use of credit on a mobile phone)
