An interactive lesson on slope that starts with how engineers build bridges and roads, links the grade of a road to slope, then uses the idea of stairs under a line to find rise over run. Students draw lines on graph paper, identify positive and negative slopes and try exam style questions.
What this presentation covers
- slope in real life: roads and bridges
- the grade of a road as a percentage
- rise over run using stairs
- finding the slope of a line from a graph
- positive and negative slopes
