Slope Walk

Our 8th graders recently brought math to life outside the classroom during a hands-on "Slope Walk" activity! Working in groups, students measured the vertical and horizontal lengths of campus ramps and stairs and calculated their steepness using the formula Slope = Vertical/Horizontal. To wrap up, they reflected on wheelchair accessibility and brainstormed how to redesign structures to make our community spaces easier for everyone to navigate.
