Mathematical modelling (Algebra): Year 9 – planning tool
This planning resource for Year 9 is for the topic of Mathematical modelling. Students use algebraic rules, tables, graphs and digital tools to construct linear and quadratic models for a range of real-life situations, make predictions and solve related problems. They spend time identifying variables to formulate the models and investigate the potential application of linear and quadratic models to some new situations. Investigations often require a combination of creativity and lateral thinking, scaffolded by an analytical and systematic approach.
