Year 8 students started a new topic, ‘Rates and Linear Graphs’ in Term 3. At the beginning, the students helped young Sheldon to solve his ‘life’ problem: Sheldon needs to get from his Linear Algebra class to his Physics class, which is 822 metres away in 10 minutes. The students helped Sheldon to determine the speed he must walk to reach his destination and demonstrated this in a linear graph. Further than that, Sheldon knows his stride is 23 inches and then the students helped him to find the number of strides he needs for his whole journey. The Year 8 students felt so proud to help young Sheldon!
