An engaging back to school, icebreaker activity to help you get to know your students while practicing graphing linear equations! (Perfect for the first day of math class in high school!) In this activity, students determine if statements are true or false about themselves. Each statement has a corresponding linear equation. Students graph the lines for each true statement. Everyone’s page will turn out a little different but with some similarities. Once students graph their lines, they are instructed to use 3 colors to trace over the lines depending on if they pass through a given point. (This helps students self-check if they made any errors graphing!) An included editable PowerPoint file allows you to edit the statements if you choose. Note: An answer key shows all the possible lines students may graph. However, most students will not graph all the lines because not all statements will be true for them personally! I recommend using this with students who already know how to graph lines in slope-intercept form. All equations are given as y=mx+b or y=mx. A few vertical and horizontal lines are included as well.
