5.2 Defining Slope

Pupils determine the pattern in collinear points in order to determine the next point in a sequence. Using the definition of slope, they practice using the slope formula, and finish the activity with three different ways to determine the...

Parallel or perpendicular? It's a slippery slope. This inquiry-based lesson plan focuses on the slope relationships between parallel and perpendicular lines. Class members follow the day-to-day layout of instruction activities and after...

The slope of the land is an important feature when considering the erosion that will occur. In this resource, which is part of a rain garden unit, learners calculate the slope of the proposed garden site. Even if you are not planning a...

In this slope-intercept form, students identify the x- and y-intercept form of a line. They graph equations using the slope and y-intercept. Students write the equation of a line that contains a pair of points. This one-page worksheet...

In this defining slope worksheet students find the slope of graphed lines. They determine the slope of a line that contains specified points. Students identify the rise and the run. This one-page worksheet contains 20 problems.

Investigate the different types of slope using graphs and ordered pairs. Scholars use the slope formula to determine the slope of a line between two points. Includes examples with a slope of zero and with no slope. The lesson follows a...

Teaching slope is part of the foundation for graphing equations. This video starts at the beginning and introduces the types of slope before calculating with the slope formula. On a graph, your learners will see that every line has a...

Math can be a slippery slope. A video introduces the concept of slope, provides its definition, and shows examples of positive and negative slopes. It connect the examples to skateboard ramps to help pupils remember what they look like.

Explain how to find the slope of a graph of a line with a video that points out how no matter what two points are used on a graph of a line, the slope is the same. A few examples reiterate how to find the slope of vertical and horizontal...

Slopes are not just for skiing. Instructors introduce class members to the concept of slope and teach them how to calculate the slope from a graph or from points. The lesson also includes the discussion of slopes of parallel and...
