Learning objectives

 * 1) Slope is measure of the steepness of a line.
 * 2) Students will understands that slope increases with the steepness.
 * 3) Students will recognize and make a connection between the magnitude of the slope and the steepness of a line.
 * 4) Students will understands that Slope is a number (magnitude).
 * 5) Students understands that Slope is the orientation or inclination of a line with the X-axis.
 * 6) Students should also be able to draw a line with a specific slope.

Notes for teachers
Slope is a number which represents the steepness of a line Students can relate the slope of line to the tangent of the angle of elevation.

Activities

 * 1) Activity No #1 understanding what is Slope of a line

Learning objectives

 * 1) Students should also be able to visualise a line with positive and negetive Slope
 * 2) Students should also be able to differentiate a line with positive and negetive Slope

Notes for teachers
If the change in Y with the value of X decreases corresponding line will have Negetive Slope If the change in Y with the value of X increases corresponding line will have Positive Slope

Activities

 * 1) Activity No 1 Positive and negetive slope

Slopes of Parallel and perpendicular lines

 * 1) Activity1 Slope of parallel and perpendicular lines
