Sequences and graphs

This resource links to papers on two concepts: sequences, and the graphical representations of linear relationships. 

These papers provide details of the knowledge students should have and some of the misconceptions they may hold. Examples illustrate potential misconceptions and give advice on how to address them. The papers support teachers in developing pedagogical and content knowledge.
