This math topic focuses on introducing the concept of slope by identifying the dimensions of rise and run in different scenarios. It helps students associate real-life examples, like hills, ski jumps, slides, and roofs, with mathematical concepts. Each question presents an image and asks the students to determine whether a specific dimension of the structure represents the rise or the run of a slope. This is aimed at beginners and is part of a broader unit on introductory slope concepts.
