File for the Post: Determining Slope INB I used these interactive notebook pages during my linear functions unit. Student's had a pretty good understanding of slope and did not need a lot of review. First, we watched the "Adventures of Slope Dude" on YouTube to review the four different types of slope. We also went over this pinwheel that I created and taped it down in our notebooks. I did have students choose four different highlighters to highlight the graphs on the pinwheel. They used these colors throughout the lesson and highlighted them based on their chosen colors (this helped A LOT). After we went over the different types of slopes, we went over the following foldable. Next, students worked on the following activity where they determined the slope from a table, two points, graph, and equation. After they determined the slope, students had to classify it as positive, negative, zero, or undefined. Students were engaged and on task during this entire activity! Overall, I really enjoyed this lesson and will probably only make minor adjustments to it next year. So far, these are the interactive notebook pages that students have referenced back to the most this school year.

My family is not very strong in math, so I am always nervous when we reach the high school math years. I am so very thankful that high school math doesn't have to be a scary thing since there are so many great helps available online.
All-in-one slope notes page is intended to be used as a reference and reminder sheet for students to refer back to throughout a unit. Concepts can be added to the organizer as they are introduced throughout the unit. Includes space to record how to find slope from tables, points & an equation. Slope tells us about rate of change, the direction, and steepness of a graph. Relates types of lines, types of equations & types of slope. Happy solving from the miss jude math! shop :)
In the Tromsø Science Center they have this model, a set of pendulums in which the second pendulum travels twice the speed of the first, the third three times, and so on. I posted a flash program of this pendulum trick earlier that allows to you experiment with the number of balls. What is the shape of the frame that the pendulums attach to? How does length of the pendulum affect the time it takes to complete one swing, and how must the lengths change to have a linear progression of time change from one pendulum to the next?
