High School Lesson Plan-

Multiple Intelligences-
Algebra 1 on slopes!

By: Ms. Duffy, Ms. Santos, Ms. Carden, Ms.

Boyack, Ms. Anjum, and Mr. Everett
 ● Directions: Students will listen
Content- Algebra
Topic- Slope of a line
Intelligence- Musical because the
students who remember things well by
rhymes and songs will benefit from this
lesson. By hearing this song now, they will
be able to come back to it by humming it in
their head when working on an assignment.
carefully as we sing the song
ourselves the first time around.
Then, we will have them all stand
up by their seats and they will
sing the song with us! Students
must participate by standing,
snapping, and singing to receive
full credit!

Activity- Students will sing and learn a

slope song

Materials- Your lovely singing

voices!

Ms. Duffy
 DIRECTIONS: Pass out one “Murder at
the Mansion” activity sheet. Read the
story/”police report” to the students.
Content- Math- Algebra 1
After it is read, leave the “alibis” on the
screen so the students can see it. Start
a timer for --- minutes. Once the timer
starts, the students will graph the lines
Topic- Slope of a line to solve the mystery. Refer to the
answer sheet provided to check for
correctness.

Intelligence- This murder mystery

activity will appeal to Logical/Mathematical
students because the activity requires thinking
about the story and problem at hand. Students
will also need to use their math skills to
accurately plot points and find slope in order
to be successful.

Materials- “Murder at the

Mansion” worksheet, pen/pencil,
murder story paper (for
teacher to read)

Ms. Boyack

be told a specific coordinate
on the graph. Those students

because the students have to move to the
required space and create the graph in
doing so.

Activity-
Two students will stand on a “person” sized
graph

Materials-
Paper a pen or pencil and students

Activity- Students will read and solve

word problems to practice calculating slope

Materials- Pencils and worksheet!

in a partner activity that will allow
them to learn from each other.
Activity: Flash Card Matching
Materials: Flashcards
Ms. Santos
flash cards to each student. Each
student will get one flash card.
Then, teacher will divide students
into two groups: ones that have
graphs on their flashcards and
ones that have slope equations on
their flashcards. Students will walk
around the room to find the
person that has a graph that
matches their slope equation, and
pair up with them.

Intelligences- Visual/Spatial
because the Khan Academy video walks
through the steps of finding the slope of a
line. After watching the
video, students will draw a line with a slope
on a graphing paper. The
drawing of the graph will serve as a
visual aid for visual learners.
Activity- Draw the slope!
Materials- Paper, pencil/pen, paper,
graphing paper
Ms. Anjum
pass out graphing paper and
regular notebook paper to all
students. Students will watch the
Khan Academy video below. As
they are watching, students will
take notes about slope on
notebook paper. After watching
the video, students will plot random
points on their graphing paper and
connect them to make a line. Then,
they will find the slope using the
formula and steps they learned
from the video.
Content- Algebra
Topic- Slope of a line
Intelligence- This activity works
best with students that have an
Intrapersonal intelligence. These students
will feel comfortable due to the fact that they
are working alone.
DIRECTIONS:
Pass out one note sheet to each
student. The blank sheet (left) will look
like the finished sheet (right) when done.
Fill in the answers with the students and
have them work the problems on their
own. They can make the notes colorful
and creative if they want.

Materials- Students will need the

note sheet,
a pen or pencil, a ruler for graphing, and
notebook
paper if they desire (to take extra notes/
practice)
