Slope of a Line
Reasoning Through Mathematics | Estimated Time 5 hrs
Mini-Lesson Targeted Skill:
Engage learners in a targeted content-driven presentation based on a specific lesson, skill of study. Provide a brief explanation of the skill relevance through modeling and demonstrations. Be prepared to remediate and or reteach when necessary.
(15-20 minutes)
The learner will be able to accurately determine the measure between the rise and run of a line and graph it.

Key Vocabulary:
Independent Practice
Facilitate learning groups to engage in problem-based learning to reinforce mini lesson. Students self-explore.
(20-25 minutes)
The learner groups will analyze and practice measuring rise and run of a line and graphing it in the activity that supports the targeted skills covered during the mini-lesson.
Recommended Activity
Guided Practice
Engage with small groups to guide lines of thinking.
(20-25 minutes)
The instructor will engage short oral formative assessment on activity 1:
Activity 2: Slope Your Name
Directions:
1. First Each student receives a sheet of Graph paper.
2. Next, classify and color code each slope of a line segment with a different color.
3. Lastly, the learner will draw their name, color coding each line segment.
Lesson Flip /Pull-Outs
Work with the learner to demonstrate mastery utilizing instructor-selected tools through presentation and/or pull-outs.
(20-25 minutes)
At this stage the learner becomes the instructor by explaining the completed activity and the steps taken towards completion. This lesson flip provides the instructor with another opportunity to listen for skill mastery and or guide learner thinking toward sound understanding.
