Description
Finding slope using right triangles on a coordinate plane is an important conceptual piece in a students' understanding of slope. These two activities will allow students to both find and use right triangles to find the slope of a line. In their exploration of slope triangles, students will also understand that various sized triangles may be used, as long as the leg lengths are proportional.
