Slope Block
Rules: This game is best played with two teams of two people each. One team is ‘X’ and the other team is ‘O’.
Each team takes turns drawing a card from the deck and reading the clue to the other team who must decide
whether the clue represents a line with positive, negative, zero, or undefined slope. If the team is correct, they
get to mark a spot corresponding to the correct answer on the game board below. If the team is incorrect, the
team that read the clue gets to mark a spot corresponding to the correct answer on the game board below. The
first team to get five in a row wins.
