This math topic focuses on calculating the 'rise' from given slope values using decimals. It uses real-life contexts like ski jumps, roofs, hills, and slides to make understanding slope concepts relatable. Each problem requires students to compute the height ('rise') based on the 'rise/run' relationship integral to understanding slope. The problems are introductory, aimed at reinforcing an understanding of how to apply slope calculations practically with decimal values. This topic is part of a broader introduction to slopes.
