From: 21st Century Lessons: A Boston Teachers Union Initiative and Corey Cheever. Use this Common Core State Standards aligned lesson to engage middle school math students with learning about identifying the slope of a line, and graphing a line with a given slope. The "Do Now" will remind students about the order of operations when dealing with negative numbers and fraction bars. Then, the students will see a demonstration of positive, negative, zero, and undefined slope. During the exploration, students will find slope by definition (rise/run), and the practice will turn towards the slope formula. Finally, the homework assignment investigates slope with regards to geometry.
