Graphing Lines Stained Glass Window Activity (Pre-Algebra)
Thanks for downloading this activity from MathLight.
In this activity, your students will graph lines on a coordinate plane, then color them to create
a stained glass window design.
The first page is a sample window that you can show your students so that they understand what they are
trying to create.
Print and distribute the next two pages. Students should first graph the lines, being sure to label them. When
they are finished graphing, they can color the segments to create a stained glass window design.
We hope you & your students enjoy this activity. Be sure to check out our lesson videos, guided notes, and
other resources (and try some of them for free!) at mymathlight.com
