| Points & Lines & Slopes (Oh My!) |
| Activity Overview
| Students are introduced to key concepts of the Cartesian plane by moving a point and investigating its coordinates in different quadrants and on the axes. They will also look at the relationship between the coordinates of a point and the distance of the point from each axis. They explore overlaying a line on two points in the plane, and investigate the relationships of lines, slope, and equations. The investigation continues with parallel and perpendicular lines and their slope relationships.
