Used Formative to collect and share student responses in a vareity of ways for our 3 Act Math Play on Slope
Let's take a look at look at the properties of slope and how they relate to our school's wheelchair ramp. To do this we are going to do a Three Act Math Play. In the first act you will need to make a prediction of the slope of the wheelchair ramp on the west side of the school, in the second act you will need to figure out the information you will need to varify your prediction, and in act three will we see how close your precdiction came to what we actually caclulated. For good measure we threw in a bonus act in the end.
