This math topic focuses on introducing the concept of slope through visual aids and practical applications. It uses scenarios involving slides, ski jumps, and roofs to help learners identify the 'rise' and 'run' components in these structures. Each problem presents an image and asks the student to determine which dimension (height or width) represents the rise or run, laying foundational understanding for the slope calculation as a ratio of rise over run. This is aimed at beginners and is part of a broader introduction to slope concepts.
