These activities develop familiarity with the property of slope.[br][br]Ask your teacher to review your answers as soon as you're done and before you close.

Organize these line segments in order of steepness from left to right. Steepest (most vertical) on the left, least steep (least vertical) on the right.[br][br]The length of the line segment does not change how steep it is.

Use the line segment tool to construct an identical copy of the blue drawing.[br][br]The first two lines are drawn for you.[br][br]Remember that to draw a diagonal line accurately, it is helpful to count 'along and up'.

Use the line segment tool to construct an identical copy of the star.[br][br]One line has been drawn for you.[br]

Use the line segment tool to construct an identical copy of this cuboid.[br][br]

Here are two blue line segments. [br][br]The top line segment has slope = 1[br]The lower line segment has slope = -1.[br][br]Match the green to the blue in length and slope. [br]Make the upper green line segments have slope =1.[br]Make the lower green line segments have slope = -1.

In this applet there are several blue line segments.[br][br]Match (same length, same slope) each blue line segment with one green line segment.

The upper line segments in the previous applet have slopes equal to 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and -0.5.[br][br]The lower line segments have slopes equal to -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, and 0.5.[br]

Create a stick person with the line segments given. [br][br]The number on each line segment shows the slope of the line segment. Moving the points changes the slope.[br][br]Bonus if your person can floss.
