Math Practice Topic: Supporting Ramps

Description: Recognizing slope using ramps and towers.

Adaptive Learning Progression: The underlying math becomes more complex.

Sample Levels (out of 6)

Answer based on the diagram

1.	Pearl built a ramp using 18 blocks and a board. She wants to add support to the ramp with a tower of 6 blocks. Where on the number line does the this tower belong?
2.	Jennifer built a ramp using 5 blocks and a board. She wants to add another support tower at point 3 on the number line. How tall should this tower be? block(s)

Answer based on the diagram

1.	Jennifer built a ramp using 1 block and a board. She wants to extend the ramp to reach point 12 on the number line. How tall should the tower be at point 12? block(s)
2.	Jose built a ramp using 4 blocks and a board. He wants to extend the ramp to reach point 3 on the number line. How tall should the tower be at point 3? block(s)

Answer based on the diagram

1.	Mike built a ramp with 1 block on one end and 19 blocks on the other end. He wants to add support to the ramp with a tower of 11 blocks. Where on the number line does this tower belong?
2.	Cindy built a ramp with 1 block on one end and 19 blocks on the other end. She wants to add support to the ramp with a tower of 16 blocks. Where on the number line does this tower belong?
