Slope Task Cards – Finding Slope from Graphs, Tables, Equations & Points

These 28 task cards give 8th grade math and Pre-Algebra students practice finding slope from graphs, tables, equations and ordered pairs. Students work across several representations instead of practicing the same type of problem over and over.

The cards progress through ordered pairs, tables, coordinate graphs and equations, so students have to recognize and calculate slope in a variety of forms. Zero slope and undefined slope are in the set too, which puts horizontal and vertical lines alongside the positive and negative slopes.

What’s included

• 28 printable slope task cards
• Student recording sheet
• Complete answer key

Skills covered

• Finding slope from two ordered pairs
