Complete activities from the following choices that add up to: 15 points

2 Point Activities
o  Brainstorm a list of situations where slope would occur in real world situations. Create a picture to describe 2situations.
o  Look through newspapers and magazines and collect examples of situations that represent slope and create a collage.
o  Create 3 Facts and a Fib about how slope is calculated.
5 Point Activities
o  Create a set of concentration cards that allows users to match them with the slope (ex: 3 or on one set and the graph of a line on the other
o  Create a set of concentration cards that allows the user to match Standard Form (Ax + By = C) with Slope Intercept Form (y = mx + b).
o  Create a comic strip or storyboard to teach slope visually. Try using your products with several students and document the results.
8 Point Activities
o  Create a Glog using Glogster Edu to describe slope and look for examples in nature and architecture.
o  Create a game in which you find y-intercept and slope on a graph or from slope-intercept form, Standard Form, Point Slope Form, or the Slope Formula.
o  Create a video representing slope in everyday life and a way to remember Standard Form, Slope Intercept Form, or Point Slope Form (ex: song, rap, rhyme, etc…)
