Description
This is a project that I had my students do last year with slope. Instead of taking a test over slope, they had to find slope in real life and create a poster. They had to also include the different slope formulas and definitions. They had to find examples from home, school, and real life (outside of home and school). They could take pictures at home or draw the picture. They could also take pictures at school for the school ones. Some students took pictures of the roof, ramps that we have, shelves, etc. I thought I had taken pictures for student examples for future use, but I didn't :-( I made it worth 125 points, but it's in Word and could always be edited to fit your class. You could also always have them do a PowerPoint or some other type of project with this if you wish. Afterwards, students are to do a gallery walk around the classroom looking at everyone else's posters. Directions and a checklist are included.
