This free graphing linear equations activity is a festive way for students to practice graphing lines during the fall season. Two versions are included: one with equations in slope-intercept form and another with equations in standard form, so you can choose the version that best fits the needs of your students.

How It Works:

Students graph ten lines on a pumpkin using the indicated colors, then color and cut out fourteen candy corn pieces. Each piece of candy corn is pasted at a specific intersection of lines, so students need accurate graphs to place them correctly. To finish, students color and cut out the pumpkin. All they need are colored pencils, scissors, and glue sticks.

The finished pumpkins are colorful and make a great fall bulletin board display.

This activity works very well with Pre-Algebra Unit 5: Functions & Linear Relationships or Algebra 1 Unit 4: Linear Equations.
