Steepness

912Algebra_CED_LinearFunctions_Worksheet_Construct_Steepness

This activity was used in an Algebra 2 class. It was used at the beginning of the linear functions unit after students learned about slope. Students worked in small groups to determine the steepness of the given segments. The activity was designed with questions that were scaffolded in order to help students dig deeper into their mathematical reasoning. The lesson was also used as a way to get students familiar with showing their “evidence” and supporting their “evidence” with important math ideas, i.e. “warrants”
