LESSON PLAN OF GRADE 9
CHAPTER II. LINEAR FUNCTIONS
LESSON 2. LINEAR FUNCTIONS
I. GOALS
- To understand the concept of linear functions.
- Determine if a linear function is increasing or decreasing.
- Interpret linear function models.
II. PRIOR KNOWLEDGE
Students have to had prior knowledge of:
- The concept of functions.
- The graphs of functions.
- Increasing functions and decreasing functions.
III. LEARNING OUTCOMES
At the end of this lesson, students will be able to:
- Recognise the formula of linear functions in a variety of contexts.
-Identify the increasing linear functions and decreasing linear functions.
- Apply the knowledge of linear functions to solve problems in both theoretical and practical contexts.

S := Students’ activity.
Activity 1: Opening problem(15 mins)
A bus from the Can Tho Bus Station to Ho Chi Minh City with the average speed is 42km per hour. Given that the Can Tho Bus Station is located 5 km far from the Center of Can Tho City.




/
a. After departed an hour, how many kilometersdid the bus travel?
b. After departed an hour, how far (in km) is the bus from the center of Can Tho city?
c. Calculate the distance from the center of Can Tho city to the bus after the following period time given then complete the following table:

T: After t hours, the distance from the center of Can Tho city to the bus can solve by this equation:


Or we can rewrite:

The function above is called a linear function.
Definition:
Linear functionsare functionsthat fit the form:


with a, b are real numbers and a
0.
