Teacher Directions:
- Print out the problems on the next page and cut them apart. You will need a copy of each problem for each group in the amazing race.
- Place all of the problems of one kind in one of the big orange mailing envelopes. For example, all of the copies of solve by graphing would be placed into one envelope. You will have five total envelopes.
Solve by Graphing
y = -x + 5
y = -5x - 3
- Type clues to lead to each problem. My example clues are located on page three. Make about 6 copies of your clue sheet and cut them apart. Line them up vertically on your desk. Give each group a different clue (you might have to repeat). I lined them up like they are on the sheet prior to cutting. Once they return a clue, give them the next one down the column on your desk. For example, if a group begins with the superintendent clue, they would receive the harry potter group next.
- Tape each orange envelope at a location that matches one of your five clues.
- I had students race with an individual whiteboard which has a graph on the back. If you don’t have these, they could use paper and graph paper.
Student Directions
- Get a clue from your teacher. Decipher your clue and go to that location. Once at the location, take one problem out of the envelope for your group.
- Everyone in your groups needs to solve the problem.
- Return to your classroom to show your teacher your solution.
- Repeat the previous three directions until your group finishes the amazing race.
