100- Slope and Proportional Reasoning in Middle School

Thursday, October 17, 2013: 2:30 PM-4:00 PM
Room 307 (Baltimore Convention Center)
Lead Speaker:
Sara D. Moore


Slope as a rate of change is a critical concept in middle school mathematics. Learn how students can build on what they know about unit fractions to develop a sense of proportional reasoning that extends to slope. We will gather and explore data from various sources to develop a sense of slope and the role it plays in linear functions.
