Monday
Learning Activities:
Finding the Slope of a line PPT
Finding Slope when given two points on a graph.
How will we tell if we’re learning it correctly?
Assessment Methods:
Checks for Understanding:
Given a graph in which there are two lines plotted, students will be able to determine the
slope using the rise over run method.
What do I need to be successful?
