Systems of Linear Equations (Substitution or Graphing) Scavenger Hunt & Circuit

There are two versions: one with 12 problems and one with 8 problems. You can choose which answer sheet to hand out: students can solve by graphing or solve by substitution. All systems have 1 equation in standard form (with integer x and y intercepts) and 1 equation in slope-intercept form and all answers are integers. If you have the students solve by substitution, a few problems will require dealing with fractions. An answer key with worked-out solutions is included.

For this activity, I cut up the half sheets and post them randomly around my room, allowing students to walk around and work in groups. I give students the answer doc and they can start at whatever half sheet they’re closest to. Once they write the answer down, they search for the answer on a different half sheet, write the name of the University, and complete the new problem. I love this twist on a basic worksheet because it gets students moving and working with their peers.

I’ve also included the same problems as a circuit worksheet so students who were absent can complete the problems, or you can use this activity as a circuit training for the whole class.

The preview shows just the first version of 12 problems.
