Description
Students will create their own piece of abstract art by writing and solving equations!
Great idea for a STEAM activity.
Adjustable for many levels!
Students will create (or be given) a set of linear equations. They will use the equations to plug in values for the variable, create a table, graph each point on the coordinate plane, draw the line, and create a colorful piece of abstract art. Tile all art pieces together for a large, class-size art mural.
A fan-favorite of my 6th graders!

As mentioned in the description, this is adjustable for all levels. If you have not used that vocabulary with your students yet, don't use it! In 6th grade, they can plug values in for the variables and graph accordingly. You can give them the equations and they can graph it. I often would introduce slope and y-intercept with my more advanced students.
