Calculating Slope - Questions
The Calculating Slope Concept Builder is comprised of 12 situations to analyze. The 12 situations are organized into three different difficulty levels. Each successive difficulty level adds a component to the slope calculating puzzle, making the level slightly more difficulty than the previous level.
- Apprentice Difficulty Level: Questions 1-4 ... All graphs include lines with positive slope and y-intercepts of 0.
- Master Difficulty Level: Questions 5-8 ... All graphs include lines with positive slope; the y-intercepts are not 0.
- Wizard Difficulty Level: Questions 9-12 ... All graphs include lines with negative slope; the y-intercepts are not 0.
While we recommend all three levels in the order provided, there is no reason why one level needs to be done as a pre-cursor to another level. The questions are shown below. Teachers are encouraged to view the questions in order to judge the appropriateness of each level for their courses.
