Slopes and Rate-of-Change

Given a graph of earning for supervising children at a movie night, learners calculate the average rate of change for two intervals. They compare the two and explain the relationship found in the comparison.

In this algebra I/algebra II worksheet, learners determine the function that expresses the rate of change for the given situation. The two page worksheet contains thirteen multi-step problems. Answers are included.

Introducing slope as "a way of measuring the inclination of a line," Sal endeavors to provide a working knowledge of slope problems and problem solving. The video is framed as a review, but could be a good way to fill any holes in...

This video demonstrates everything about slope as it goes through a variety of examples depicting rate of change in more than just linear graphs. Show your learners that slope can be found in the world around them, such as in race times...

With math all around us, your learners will see they can create an equation to model different situations. From fundraising to a cell phone plan, your mathematicians can find the starting point b, plug in the rate of change m, and create...

Just how fast is the function changing? The presenter provides a general explanation of the average rate of change in the 28th presentation in a series of 31 calculus videos. The video moves on to find the average rate of change for a...

Rates of change can be a slippery slope. The resource makes the connection between the rate of change and the slope of a line. It continues on to provide examples of how to interpret the slope and the y-intercepts of linear equations...

Graphs tell a story, and in this activity learners explore different graphs.They analyze slope and rate of change from the graphs and answer questions about the information they represent. This lesson even contains extensions for more...

The rate of change is defined as how one quantity changes in relationship to another quantity. The instructor diagrams a graph and demonstrates how to use a formula to calculate the rate of change. It might take two viewings to catch all...

Here's a great lesson that looks at slope as an instantaneous change. Using an estimated tangent line, the presenter shows the class how to find an approximation for the instantaneous rate of change. Scholars determine the slope of the...
