Description
Ready for an activity that makes finding x- and y-intercepts fun? In this CUSTOMIZABLE activity, students find x- and y-intercepts to solve a mystery! Students will use the clues they gather from correctly determining intercepts to solve the case.
In this activity, students will find the x- and y-intercepts of TEN linear equations: FIVE equations in standard form and FIVE graphs.
This item is customizable using Adobe Acrobat Reader! Now you can customize the title, suspects, weapons, and locations! Please note that with this update, the file may not function correctly in all PDF Readers. Please use Acrobat Reader to ensure best functionality.
You are able to customize the suspects, the weapons, the locations, and the title of the mystery.
Please note you are NOT able to change the actual problems in the activity.
This kit offers three ways to use this activity.
Use as a Scavenger Hunt: The download includes 23 full-color cards for you to print and hang around your room for a class activity. As students solve the equations, they look around the room for their answer to see what clue they should eliminate.
Use as an Individual Activity: The download also includes a version that has all of the necessary clue information so students can complete this activity outside of the classroom.
Use as a Digital Activity: The download includes a link to a drag-and-drop version in Google Slides.
In all versions, the activity contains 10 linear equations and there are 2 questions for each set, giving you a total of 20 questions. Each answer is associated with either a suspect, a weapon or a location. When a student gets the answer, that option is eliminated from the mystery. When they are finished, students will only have one suspect, one weapon and location left, and they will have solved the mystery!
