Rates and Slopes: An Astronomical Perspective
In this rates and slopes worksheet, students solve 2 problems where they find the rate corresponding to the speed of the galaxies in a Hubble diagram for galaxies and they calculate the rate of the sunspot number change between indicated...
Curated OER
Rates Of Change
Students investigate the rate of change and how it effects a function over a given interval. They examine the slope of a line that is seccant and how it is compared to a tangent line and then determine the changes of a function at any...

Parallel Lines and Properties of Slope
Students define functions to be graphed using the Y=key. They demonstrate how to set up a standard viewing screen using Zoom 6. They discuss and explore mathematical questions on a worksheet.
Curated OER
Graph Your Motion
Students graph their linear equations. In this algebra instructional activity, students examine their lines and relate it to the slope or rate of change. They relate the steepness of the line to the slope being positive, negative or zero.
