About This Lesson

Tired of my annoying voice on these videos every week?... well, I’m pleased to say that this time I am handing over to my special guest, Douglas Butler, the creator of Autograph. Here Douglas shows you an interesting and engaging way of using Google Earth and Autograph to investigate slopes in real life. We start with a runway and end up taking a bike ride around Bolton. Lovely stuff, Mr Butler. I must get some music in my videos… Aligned to: 8.EE.B.5 , 8.EE.B.6

Graph proportional relationships, interpreting the unit rate as the slope of the graph. Compare two different proportional relationships represented in different ways.
Use similar triangles to explain why the slope ? is the same between any two distinct points on a non-vertical line in the coordinate plane; derive the equation ? = ?? for a line through the origin and the equation ? = ?? + ? for a line intercepting the vertical axis at ?.
