Lesson Plan in Slope of A Line

This lesson plan aims to teach students about slope of a line through four key objectives: defining slope, determining slope given two points, relating slope to real situations, and drawing graphs given a slope. The lesson will begin with motivating students using an example of mountain climbing. Students will then work through examples of determining the slope of hills and lines. Formulas and examples for calculating slope will be presented. Students will then work in pairs to calculate and graph slopes of lines given ordered point pairs. Finally, students will evaluate their understanding by calculating and graphing slopes of additional example lines.

Lesson Plan

I. Objectives
1. To define a slope of a line
2. To determine the slope of a line given any two points on a line
3. To relate the slope of a line to real situation.
4. To draw the graph of a line given its slope.

II. Subject Matter


Topic: Slope of a Line
Reference/s: https://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/slope.html

a-line
Materials: Power point presentation

III. Procedure
A. Preparation
a. Greetings
b. Attendance
c. Motivation

The teacher will show the students the picture of Mount Everest and will ask the
students to tell something about it. Mountain climbers are amazed by how steep this
mountain is when they climb up its slope.

d. Preliminary activity
B. Lesson Proper

Our friend Luis is riding his bike. He goes up two different hills. Which hill will be
harder for Luis to pedal up?

HILL #1 HILL #2

Later on, Luis is going down two hills. Which hill will he gain more speed on?

HILL #3 HILL #4

The measure of how hard it is for Luis to pedal up the hill, or how fast Luis goes down
hill is known as slope. Here is the formal definition for slope.

Slope of a line – The ratio of vertical distance and horizontal distance between two points.
Slope is the number that measures the steepness of a line.
The slope of a line is denoted by the symbol m.

Here is an easy way to remember slope:


rise Vertical change
m= =
run Horizontal change
Vertical change change in y
Horizontal Change change in x
Examples
3
3 m= = 1
m= 3
5

Inclination of the slope of a line


The slope of a line can be positive, negative, zero or undefined.

SLOPE POSITIVE
The graph moves upward from left to right.

SLOPE NEGATIVE
The graph moves downward from left to right.

ZERO SLOPE
The graph of a line is horizontal.

UNDEFINED SLOPE
The graph of a line is vertical.

Identifying slope given any two points on a line.


Slope Formula:
y2 – y1
m=
x2 – x1
Examples:
Find the slope of a line passing through the given points and draw the graph.

1. (3,5) , (-2,3)

For no. 2 and 3 examples, the teacher will call someone to solve it on the board.

2. (-2,3) , (1,-1)

3. (-2,4) , (1,-5) m = -5 - 4 = -9 = -3
1 - -2 3
IV. Exercises
The teacher will give each student an ordered pair.
Direction: Make a pair with your classmates 5 times. Pair your ordered pair to them and
find the slope using the slope formula AND draw the graph of the line.

My Ordered Pair:

ORDERED PAIR SOLUTION SLOPE GRAPH


V. Evaluation
Find the slope of a line passing through the given points. Graph the line on graphing
paper.

1. (1,3) , (0,-1)
2. (-2,1), (3,2)
3. (5,6) , (1,3)
4. (-4,4) , (1,1)
5. (-2,3) , (1,-1)

VI. Assignment

Take 10 pictures of anything you want that shows steepness or a slope.


To be submitted tomorrow. By group!
