Students are to revise graphing points on a number plane, Graphing straight lines using a table of values, graphing using the y = mx + c form of a line, rearrange linear equations into the y= mx + c form, solving problems using graphing, working with parallel or perpendicualr lines and determine midpoint, gradient or distance between two points using formulae.

This course focuses on the basic components of food, the nutritional value of foods and how students can
select a balanced diet appropriate to their needs. Students will develop their food preparation skills using a
wide variety of equipment and gain a greater understanding of the food groups and nutrients, their importance

with poor food choices and how life cycle, health and lifestyle changes can create special food needs will also
be examined.
