Description
Students will have a ball practicing slope with this activity! Students track and record how many times in 1 minute they can bounce a tennis ball. Once they have their data, they graph it in a line graph and calculate their slope. From there, they analyze slope to narrate how it describes how they bounced their tennis ball.

Display numerical data in plots on a number line, including dot plots, histograms, and box plots.
CCSS6.RP.A.3a
Make tables of equivalent ratios relating quantities with whole-number measurements, find missing values in the tables, and plot the pairs of values on the coordinate plane. Use tables to compare ratios.
CCSS7.RP.A.2
Recognize and represent proportional relationships between quantities.
CCSS7.RP.A.2a
Decide whether two quantities are in a proportional relationship, e.g., by testing for equivalent ratios in a table or graphing on a coordinate plane and observing whether the graph is a straight line through the origin.
CCSS7.RP.A.2b
Identify the constant of proportionality (unit rate) in tables, graphs, equations, diagrams, and verbal descriptions of proportional relationships.
