Description
These digital notes and practice are a great introduction to finding slope between two points. Students have the opportunity to use a number line to find how the x and y-coordinate change and then can write their slope from there.
This resource does not have students use the slope formula but instead has students look at what is actually happening on the number line.
This method seems to allow students to see why the slope formula works rather than just plugging in numbers into a formula.
These can be used either in person or virtually to introduce this concept to students.
You can either go through the first few slides together as a class and have students complete the independent practice on the last 2 slides.
Or you could assign the entire activity to students to complete individually as practice.
Each slide consists of the following:
Slide 1: Cover page
Slide 2: The basics of finding slope between 2 points using a number line.
Slide 3: Examples on how to find slope between two points.
Slide 4: Practice problems of finding slope between two points.
Slide 5: Additional practice problems of finding slope between two points.
I hope you find this activity useful and beneficial as a part of your curriculum.
