Abstrakt: This study investigates slope as a composed unit ratio, offering an alternative understanding that diverges from a multiplicative comparison meaning. Through the lens of a teacher’s unique interpretation, we bridge the gap between the different meanings of slope and the varied understandings of ratio, uncovering a nuanced meaning of slope as a ratio. Our findings suggest that viewing slope as a composed unit ratio offers accessible and meaningful pathways for learners, by highlighting a productive understanding. We advocate for further exploration into this meaning to enrich pedagogical strategies and support the development of robust mathematical understandings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
