Real-Life Math Fun practice/resource! Slope - A Student activity on Gradient.
By Daniel
It is always a good strategy to review essential skills with your students, and this is right up there with the most essential!
Slope (Gradient) is a very practical real-life experience for all of us - we climb stairs daily and walk up and down very steep and less steep inclines. In this practical, outside activity, students encounter slope first hand and then make sense of the mathematics behind it. Students are then encouraged to think about the real-life applications and implications that slope has in the life of people like the elderly and the handicapped.
Linear equations, slope, rise over run, gradient, y=mx+b.
