Description

Make graphing linear equations practice stick with this self-checking slope intercept form maze! Students graph each line, find the point that’s on it and cross that bridge to the next box. A wrong answer leads to a dead end, so they catch it and fix it before it ever gets to you.

Why You’ll Love It:

• Differentiate with zero extra prep. Level 1 sticks to y = mx + b. Level 2 adds fraction slopes, tables and slope plus a point. Level 3 has two points, x-intercepts and word problems.
• Students check themselves. A wrong line leads to a dead end, and some boxes are off the path, so guessing a route doesn’t work.
• Real graphing, not just matching. Each level has a Show Your Work page with 12 coordinate grids, so every line gets graphed.
• Fast to check. The answer keys show the path shaded and numbered, so you can check a maze at a glance.

What’s Inside:

• 3 leveled mazes, 11 questions each
• 3 Show Your Work pages, 12 coordinate grids each
• 3 answer keys with the path shaded and numbered
• Teacher directions with a classroom plan and teaching tips
• Printable PDF, print and go

How to Use It:

Use it as classwork after your slope intercept form lesson, a math center, independent practice, homework or a sub plan. It also works as Algebra 1 review. Model the first box together, give students about 25 minutes to work through their level, check the path with the answer key, then let fast finishers move up a level. Plan on about 45 minutes. Aligned to VA SOL 8.PFA.3, CCSS 8.F.A.3 and 8.F.B.4, and TEKS 8.4(C), 8.5(B) and 8.5(I).
