FP10.7
Demonstrate, with and without the use of technology, understanding of slope (concretely, pictorially, and symbolically) with respect to:
  • line segments and lines
  • rate of change
  • ratio of rise to run
  • parallel lines
  • perpendicular lines.

[PS, R, V]

Indicators for this outcome
(a)

Provide examples, relevant to self, family, or community, to explain the importance of slope.

(b)

Illustrate and explain, using examples relevant to self, family, or community, how slope is rate of change.

(c)

Determine the slope of a line segment by using the measurement or calculation of the rise and run.

(d)

Classify lines in a given set as having positive or negative slopes, and explain how the sign of the slope affects the interpretation or meaning of the slope.

(e)

Explain the meaning of zero or slopes with no Real value.

(f)

Explain why the slope of a straight line can be determined by using any two distinct points on that line.

(g)

Draw a line given its slope and a point on the line.

(h)

Determine another point on a line, given the slope and a point on the line.

(i)

Generalize, explain, and apply strategies for determining whether two lines are parallel or perpendicular.

(j)

Apply knowledge and skills related to slope to solve situational questions relevant to self, family, and community (e.g., determine the slopes of the poles in a tepee and the impact of changing the slopes on the dimensions and strength of the tepee).

Pearson Foundations and Pre-calculus Mathematics 10. Student Edition(WNCP ed.)
The student text encourages the "big ideas" approach to develop concepts on what is important to think, do and understand. The teaching for understanding instructional approach develops deeper understanding of the concepts. Each chapter in the student text includes checkpoints, a study guide, a review, a practice test and a project.
