Linear Equations (Standard Form) Team Relay

Practice writing and using the standard form of linear equations with these fun mystery letter team relays!

Each relay has students work in groups of 4 to write linear equations in standard form and find the x- and y- intercepts by breaking up the steps to give each student in the group a different role:
- Student 1 is responsible for graphing 2 given points and the line connecting them on the coordinate plane
- Student 2 is responsible for writing the equation of the line in slop-intercept form
- Student 3 is responsible for converting the slope-intercept form equation into standard form
- Student 4 is responsible for finding the x- and y- intercepts of the line using the standard form equation

The intercepts correspond with the mystery letters. Checking if a group completed the relay correctly is as simple as checking their mystery letters!

There are 4 relays included (all set up the same way) so that students can rotate roles each time, giving each student an opportunity to completed each of the 4 steps.

Competitive classes love making team relays a race!
