Abstract
In everyday life and mathematics, we often deal with connections and relationships between objects of the same type or different types. Thus, we associate the elements of a community or a set in some way with the elements of the same community (set) or of another community (set). For example, we assign a grade to each student, a price to each commodity, a corresponding number to all pages of a book, and so on. Students learn the functions almost every school year, starting with the seventh grade and so on. There are different ways of explaining functions so that students can more easily understand their meaning in achieving results. In the time we are living thanks to the advancement of technology, we are having the opportunity to search for different ideas on the Internet for the explanation and development of various activities related to daily life. Illustrations greatly influence students to have as much concentration as possible during the lesson and in terms of the implementation of functions.
In this paper, we have tried to clearly explain the meaning and application of linear functions as well as their graphical presentation. Also, in this paper we have tried to illustrate with some examples the graphical representation of linear functions, giving different practical techniques through different figures and visualizations. A questionnaire in this paper included 88 seventh-grade students at the school "Elena Gjika" city Prishtina, Kosovo. With the help of the statistical test, we have concluded that practical techniques such as illustrations, various visualizations, and practical work are important in learning the function and its graphic presentation.
