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.

This packet contains 15 task cards, 15 task card solutions, student answer sheets, and instructions. The task cards include graphing, writing equations, making connections among various representations and various forms of equations for linear functions. This is a great activity for students to test their knowledge of linear functions from graphs, tables, maps, and equations.

Students use 2 points to find the slope of a line, either by using the formula or using graph paper and drawing slope triangles. Students are engaged in finding each answer in order to put together the letters that answer the riddle at the top of the page. The answer key includes worked out solutions.

This is a mystery activity to increase student engagement and to help students master identifying slope and applying knowledge of finding slope. Instead of the usual mystery activity, students are finding clues to determine who, where, and how a student proposed to their possible homecoming dance date! Questions include: •Finding slope from a graph •Identifying the equation of a line in slope-intercept form •Filling in missing coordinates in a table when points are collinear •Identifying slope

This is a highly engaging activity for identifying and comparing rates of change in various real-world scenarios! Students solve problems on task cards. Each solution contains a part of a bitmoji. When all questions are answered, students draw the bitmoji as the final solution. Questions are aligned to common core standards and include the following topics: Graphing equations slope-intercept form given a word problemIdentifying rate of change from a graphIdentifying rate of change from 2pointsI

Students solve systems of linear equations in slope-intercept form by graphing.
