Description

Give your Algebra 1 students clear practice finding x- and y-intercepts with this printable Thanksgiving maze. Students plug in values to identify each intercept, then use their answers to follow the correct path across the maze. A recording sheet helps keep work neat, and the answer key makes checking quick and simple. This is an easy way to build confidence before graphing linear equations.

Your students will enjoy this activity because they will know if they are right or wrong as they answer the questions. If your student gets the question correct, they will find it and it will lead them to the next problem. If they get it wrong, they will not find the answer – this will be a sign for them to go back and try again.

How It Works

Students begin at the first box, solve for the x- or y-intercept, and use their answer to find the next box in the maze. If the answer doesn’t appear, they know to check their work and try again. The self-checking format keeps students on track and reduces the grading you need to do.

Skills covered:

• Finding x & y-intercepts from standard form
• Finding x & y-intercepts from slope intercept form

 

What’s Included:

• 1 maze worksheet

• 1 recording sheet

• Complete answer key

 

This maze helps students practice finding intercepts in a low-pressure way. It builds understanding of how x- and y-intercepts connect to linear equations, making it easier for students to graph with confidence.
