Due to scheduled maintenance on Friday 19th April 2024 between 7:00PM and 9:00PM AEST, the Scootle website may face disruption in service. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Distance, midpoint and gradient are investigated as students design an Excel spreadsheet and make a Smart Notebook presentation on ski-lifts. Students then contribute to a discussion on the steepest street in the world.
This resource is valuable for addressing the Australian Curriculum: Mathematics content descriptions in Year 9 related to gradients, midpoints and distances on the Cartesian plane. A ski-slope provides a practical context for a technology-based exploration.
