Graphing Slope-Intercept Form Scavenger Hunt

Practice or review graphing slope intercept equations with a fun scavenger hunt!

CONTENTS:

• 2 Warm Up Problems plus key
• 16 Cards to put up around the room
• Student worksheet
• Teacher Key
• Starting Answer sheet
• OPTIONAL VERSION: 16 cards with points on lines for scaffolded practice

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Cut problem sheets in half so that there is one problem and one solution on each card. Post cards around the room. Hand out scavenger hunt worksheets to students.

2. Assign starting answers to small groups of students by giving each group one of the “Starting Answers” at the end of this packet. This will ensure that students start at different locations.

**Tell students that the answer they start with is the SAME ANSWER they should get for the final answer of the last problem they do. **

1. Students write the equation they find underneath their assigned graph in box #1 on their answer sheet. Then, they search for the graph that matches the equation on a new card. (The answer to the current problem will lead them to the card with the next problem.) Students should continue until they reach the graph they begin with.

2. During this activity, students are encouraged to check in with the teacher if they get stuck, or get to the final answer prematurely. (I use the key to quickly check over their work and let the student know which problem to go back to and solve again.)

Small Group:
Give every group the same starting graph and have groups arrange the problems in the correct order, filling in their scavenger hunt worksheets as they go.
