Middle Math Hunter

Purpose:Linear equations are a foundational concept in Algebra 1 and 8th grade math. This project is great for an end-of-the-year project. This engaging project helps students deepen their understanding of slope-intercept form and point-slope form by applying them in a creative, visual context. Using Desmos, students will explore how equations translate to lines on a graph and how to manipulate those lines to form letters. Project Overview:In this project, students will graph their initials

Overview:This hands-on project, which would be great as an end of year project, invites students to collect their own data based on a topic of personal interest, create a scatter plot in Desmos, and analyze trends using a line of best fit (trend line). Perfect for Algebra 1 and 8th grade, this project strengthens students’ understanding of data relationships, slope, linear models, and predictions. Students will not only plot data, but also: Draw and interpret their own line of best fit (trend l

This is a scavenger hunt where students are given an equation in standard form (Ax + By = C) and asked to rewrite equations in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) by solving for y. Includes lines with positive, negative, zero, and undefined slope. There are 2 different versions of the scavenger hunt with 14 cards each. This is like task cards, but it is self-checking as students work through it. When they return to the card they started at, they did it correctly! NO GRADING! Teacher Directions:1.

This is a scavenger hunt where students are given a graph and asked to find the slope. Some lines have 2 two points on the line to help find the slope, other lines have no points. Includes lines with positive, negative, zero, and undefined slope. There are 2 different versions of the scavenger hunt with 14 cards each. This is like task cards, but it is self-checking as students work through it. When they return to the card they started at, they did it correctly! NO GRADING! Teacher Directions:1.

This is a bundle of EIGHT scavenger hunts where students practice the skills needed to graph lines and use slope-intercept form. Includes lines with positive, negative, zero, and undefined slope. There are 2 different versions of each scavenger hunt with 14 unique cards in each version. Scavenger hunts are like task cards, but they are self-checking as students work through them. When they return to the card they started at, they did it correctly! NO GRADING! Topics included: 1. Write an equati
