Mathematical modelling (Algebra): Year 8 – planning tool
This planning resource for Year 8 is for the topic of Mathematical modelling. Students model linear relationships to solve real-world applications that they can relate to, such as financial contexts (for example, pay rates for part-time work) or measurements (for example, cooking, constant speed and distance/time graphs, leaking water tanks, sporting scenarios).
