Slope
Rate of change
Use rise over run and the slope formula to compare two points.
Grade 8 begins with slope, tables, equations and functions. Students learn to recognise what stays constant across different representations of the same linear relationship.
Calculate slope from points, identify constant rate from tables, connect equations to graphs, and decide whether a relation is a function.
Use rise over run and the slope formula to compare two points.
Connect slope and y-intercept to an equation and its graph.
Recognise whether a relation is a function from ordered pairs and tables.
