Instructional Ideas
- Provide the class several opportunities for guided practice
- If this is the first exposure to slope for the class, consider delaying the discussion of parallel and perpendicular lines until they can calculate slope proficiently
Classroom Considerations
- The class should be able to graph points on the coordinate plane in all four quadrants
- The fourth part in a nine-part series
Pros
- The homework has an answer key
- The closure has the pupils consider how the concept will aid in the challenge for the unit
Cons
- The graphs on the homework are screen captures of calculator graphs and may be difficult to read
