Students identify the slope of linear functions. In this slope lesson plan, students collect data and graph it. They write equations with no more than two variables and use technology to explain their data.
Students investigate the slope intercept form. In this algebra lesson, students complete homework problems dealing with slope intercept form and are asked to post their answers on Facebook. They define the purpose of the slope and the y-intercept.
Tenth graders explore lines, circles and planes using CabriJr. For this technology lesson, 10th graders further their knowledge of geometric terms using CabriJr. This assignment requires the software CabriJr loaded onto the TI.
Twelfth graders investigate slope fields and Euler’s Method. In this calculus lesson plan, 12th graders explore the steps for programming slope fields on the TI-83 and Euler’s method for achieving a numerical solution to differential equations.
Coordinate geometry is the focus of this math lesson. Middle and high schoolers take notes and complete worksheets on coordinate planes, midpoint, slope lines, equations of lines, and the distance formula. They view the video clip "Discovering Math Concepts in Geometry and Measurement-Coordinate Geometry," and play Coordinate Plane Battle Ship.
Students investigate real-world situations that relate to slopes and rates of change, and determine the steepness of slopes by viewing and recording data. They, in groups, make paper airplanes and graph their rise and run during flight.
Students explore the concept of slope. In this slope lesson, students describe slope in a variety of ways such as the steepness of a line, using graphs, using triangles, and through ordered pairs. Students find slope from graphs, ordered pairs, and triangles.
Young scholars define parallel and perpendicular lines. In this algebra instructional activity, students relate the concept of parallel and perpendicular lines to the real world. They classify the lines based on their slopes.
Students collect data and graph their results, then analyze the graphs. In this geometry lesson, students examine slopes and their graphs and discuss the relationship between the lines and the slopes.
Students graph lines and find their slope. In this graphing lesson, students used Geometer's Sketchpad software to plot several lines and compare the slope of parallel and perpendicular lines. In the second portion of the lesson, students gather data by measuring different rubber band lengths, graphing the results, and finding the line of best fit.
