Slope Project - Hands on Linear Equations Project - 8th Grade + Algebra

Race to the finish is NOT your average slope project! Are you ready for a hands on slope project that gets your students up and active? The Race to the Finish linear equations project will have your students ramped up as they work toward their race day expo!

Phase 1: Students get hands on designing their ideal ramp and modeling it using graphs of linear equations.

Phase 2: Students test and collect data to create a scatter plot and line of best fit to determine the best car to run down their track!

Phase 3: Students put two and two together and compare the graphs and equations of their ramps and racers to come up with their winning combo.

Phase 4: It's ramped up race day! Students showcase their hard work with an expo giving them a chance to review other groups results and compare their progress.

It's a hands-on linear equations project you aren't going to want to miss! With a chance to work on slope, scatter plots, graphing linear equations, writing linear equations AND practicing rewriting literal equations-- this project has a bit of everything your students can apply!

NOW with digital access included! Teachers can edit the master slide-deck to suit their needs and students can complete each phase digitally--no more lost papers!
