Ramp up a design challenge. Class members design ramps to meet a client's requirements to comply with the American with Disabilities Act. The scholars create a scaled graph of their designs and determine the equations of the lines on their graphs. Learners share their designs with the class via a gallery walk and check to be sure others' designs also meet the restrictions.
