Curated OER
Slippery Slope
Middle schoolers use a computer to complete activitites about slope. They find the slope of mountains, roofs, and stairs using rise over run. Pupils are shown different types of slopes and have to identify if the slope is positive,...
Curated OER
Identifying Positive, Negative Slope of Neither
For this linear slope worksheet, students determine whether the slopes of four graphed lines are positive, negative, or neither. Solutions are provided.
Curated OER
Positive Slope, Negative Slope, or Neither
For this slope worksheet, students identify the slope of 4 lines. Students determine if a line has positive, negative, no slope or undefined slope.
