Description
How do you teach calculating slope with the formula y2-y1/x2-x1 while making real world connections to rate of change and the meaning of slope. Use this activity as part of your exploration of slope to connect linear patterns of change in the real world with abstract formulas that are needed for algebra 1 and geometry.

CCSS8.F.B.4
Construct a function to model a linear relationship between two quantities. Determine the rate of change and initial value of the function from a description of a relationship or from two (𝘹, 𝘺) values, including reading these from a table or from a graph. Interpret the rate of change and initial value of a linear function in terms of the situation it models, and in terms of its graph or a table of values.
CCSSHSF-LE.A.2
Construct linear and exponential functions, including arithmetic and geometric sequences, given a graph, a description of a relationship, or two input-output pairs (include reading these from a table).
CCSSHSF-LE.B.5
Interpret the parameters in a linear or exponential function in terms of a context.
