They turn off as soon as they hear "slope" because they are so familiar with the term from so many years of it being skimmed. Thank you for your comment. I hope things change!ScaffoldedMathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12991099683629425350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-969821499728229660.post-73859891211188365212018-07-18T16:32:28.267-04:002018-07-18T16:32:28.267-04:00I am previewing our Glencoe Math, Course 2 (Califo...I am previewing our Glencoe Math, Course 2 (California Edition) textbook which is used in the 7th grade, and there are about 8 measly pages devoted to slope.
