         <description><![CDATA[Students work in pairs to find and photograph real-world examples of slopes in and around the school (stairs, ramps, roofs, etc.). They then calculate the slopes of these structures using rise over run. Each pair presents their findings to the class, explaining how they measured and calculated the slopes. This activity helps students connect mathematical concepts to their everyday environment.<br><br>Materials needed:<br>- Measuring tape or meter sticks<br>- Phones/cameras for photos<br>- Calculator<br>- Worksheet for calculations]]></description>
