Modeling Pathway Slopes with a Geoboard
Recall the specific procedural rules for the geoboard method. When connecting the two pegs to represent the pathway's incline, which peg (the one on the left or the one on the right) should the apprentice start with, and which component of the slope—the 'rise' or the 'run'—is always recorded as a positive value?
