This was intended to be an introduction to graphing linear equations and function notation. Students create and graph linear functions to represent an asteroid falling to earth as well as functions for different missiles they can use to intercept it.
The powerpoint file is intended to be printed as a worksheet. The first slide is the student worksheet and the second one is the answer key.

I love your scavenger hunt activities. I have downloaded several of them and have even begun creating my own. The idea is simple and easy to adapt to any topic. Thank you for sharing this idea!

I agree, much better than a lemonade stand. Thank you!

This is just the right length for my level of students. Too many problems and they give up. Nice job!

I'm glad you liked it. I thought it was a more interesting sort of "real world scenario" than something like a lemonade stand... at least for the boys in the class. :)

Thanks! That idea actually came to me after I got annoyed that so many students kept asking "when am I ever gonna use this?" All the normal kinds of word problems and real-world scenarios didn't seem to be convincing them so I started trying to think of ways they could use algebra to save the world. I don't know if it convinced them that math is important, but it at least put a stop to those questions for one day, heh.

Great activity. The equation for the asteroid is wrong though. It should have a slope of -2/3, instead of -2.

Eek! Silly mistakes like that are what I was afraid I'd miss. Thanks for pointing it out... now I just have to figure out how to re-upload the file. heh
edit: I corrected the answer key and re-uploaded the file. Hopefully that all worked because it was easier to do that I thought it would be.

Great for making graphing linear functions applicable to Algebra 1 students. Fun activity!

I'm glad you liked it! My students doing the usual "when are we going to use this stuff in real life" complaining so I tried to come up with a good example for them. :)
