Learning Slope Via Rate Not Rote

Webinar Overview

The concept of slope is a mystery to many students. Building a foundation for understanding slope begins with establishing concrete knowledge of rates, ratios, proportional relationships, and similarity. By introducing slope as a rate, particularly a unit rate, the real meaning and relevance of slope emerge. This session examines these foundations to deepen participants’ understanding of slope and empowers them to support a coherent transition from middle school to high school mathematics.

AREAS OF FOCUS

During this one-hour webinar, the following questions will be answered:

• What are the foundations that lead to a concrete understanding of slope?
• What are rates and how do they relate to slope?
• How can students use this skill to transition from middle to high school?
