My Own Ice Cream Cone: Slope Activities 1

Created by

Introductory lesson to using data to create a linear growth graph and model by building "fake" ice cream cones. Templates are included for the cones and scoops. Instructions for the teacher are also included. Contact me at hrudolph@orangecsd.org for details or clarification. Students will be introduced to appropriate vocabulary such as initial amount, slope, intercept, growth, increasing, model, trend, linear function or linear equation. Lamination is helpful for re-using the materials! A

Take a Bite Out of Algebra- Slope Activities 2

Created by

Heidi's Math Store

Students will literally take a bite out of a pretzel (or Twizzler) and predict the pattern if they would continue to eat it. A decreasing slope is discovered, and a model can be written to portray the situation. Students can predict how many bites it will take for the pretzel (or their fingers!) to be gone. Appropriate vocabulary should be introduced, including slope, intercept, trend, decreasing, and linear.
