Student Led Conference Reflection

The things I enjoyed most about my SLC were:
Getting to share my learning with my dad because dad never gets to come to the school because of work.


What went well and why?
My parents were impressed at the scores I was getting on the asttle test because I was above standard for everything.


What were the challenges you faced when preparing and presenting your SLC?
The wi-fi went down for half of the session so I had to improvise and take my parents around the room until the wi-fi came back on.




What changes would you make for next time and why?
Hope that the wi-fi doesn't go down so that I can give a lot more information about the tasks like I wanted to.

Algebra Learning Term 2

WALT: relate tables, graphs, and equations to linear and simple quadratic relationships found in number and spatial patterns.


Assessment Task: A car rental business has two rental schemes, red and blue for rentals up to ten days. These schemes are advertised in their brochures with this graph.
Use the following information to work out how many days of rental would carry the same total cost on either the blue or the red scheme.
  • The area under the graph gives the total cost of renting.
  • The schemes each follow a linear pattern, cutting the vertical axis at 120 and 170.
  • Both blue and red schemes cost $110 on the 4th day of rental.

The answer is on one day the rental cars cost the same.
