m = Tan ø

A card sort based on Chris McGrane's Starting Points activity. The aim of this sorting task is to draw learners attention towards the relationship between angles and gradient.  Further, the inclusion of the worded "for every x boxes along go y boxes up" and the diagrams is to help learners consider gradient's meaning from a geometric perspective.  Often it can appear that learners see gradient as being a number with no inherent meaning.
