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.
You might also enjoy these 2 resources on slope as well!

Graphing Linear Functions Differentiated Review Activity | Grade 8 Math
By EZMath
Level Ups are a fun way for your students to practice or review graphing linear functions in both slope-intercept form and standard form. Aligned to the common core standards, this Level Ups activity includes 5 differentiated tasks that increase in rigor. The task cards begin with pre-requisite skills involving proportional relationships and the basics of slope and y-intercept, then "level up" all the way to creating an appropriately scaled graph for a given linear function scenario.
Students start at level zero and work their way up to level 4, giving them accurate feedback on what they have mastered, and what they still need to work on. This lesson works as a great way to review what is and is not a function, or as preparation for an upcoming assessment.
This activity includes:
- Suggested activity instructions (based on how I run this in my classroom).
- Five levels with 6 - 8 questions each.
- The final level includes 2 word problems where students must scale their own graph based on the domain and range of the scenario.
- Complete answer keys for each level.
My students love "Level Up Day" in my own classroom, and the activity works great as independent practice, a pairs activity, or even group work. I also use this when I need a majority of students working independently while I pull a small group for intervention.
If you enjoy this activity, please check out my other Level Up products, or my Team Target Review series, which encourages group work and rich math discussion.
