Slope

Google Classroom

🎯 Objective: Students find slope from graphs, tables and two points.

Lesson outline

  1. Rise over run.
  2. Practice.
  3. Negative and zero slopes.
  4. Exit: slope through two points.

Lesson 2 of 4 in this unit. In the Lesson Planner this lesson takes 1–3 class periods depending on your timetable: day 1 introduce & model, then practice, small-group reteach and a quick check.

Common Core State Standards for Mathematics, Grade 8 — typical US scope & sequence

🏁 Unit goals

  • Graph proportional relationships and interpret slope
  • Write y = mx + b from graphs, tables and situations

✅ Check for understanding

End with the exit ticket in the outline. Sort answers into got it / almost / not yet and start the next lesson with a 5-minute reteach for the “not yets”.
