Slope Art Assignment

During my first year of teaching, I assigned my students to draw a picture and label the different types of slope in the picture to create slope art.  Then, last year, I changed things up and had them label the different types of slope that could be found in their name.  I liked this activity, but I missed the creativity that the previous activity had allowed.

This year, I decided to do the slope name art as our notebook entry and use the picture drawing assignment as the quiz.  Definitely the best of both worlds.

We did this lesson months ago, but I’m just now getting around to uploading pictures and sharing them.  As you scroll through my students’ creations, you will realize that some of them put much more effort into the assignment than others.

The task was to draw a picture with at least 3 lines with each type of slope. Students were to label each line’s slope.
