The article discusses the practical method for teaching the fundamental algebraic concept of slope which will relate the rate of change in students' experiences outside the school. It offers an overview of the activity which provides the students with mathematical tasks for their better understanding of the topic and presents the evaluation on their participation. It also explores the hands-on activity which applies the Hooke's Law.
