Putt Putt Golf
In this activity, students practice writing linear equations to model the path of a golf ball. This activity assumes students have some experience graphing linear equations. Pro tip: For students who have trouble getting started on a particular hole, invite them to plot a point somewhere between the ball and the hole to use as a "target" when creating the first line segment. Note: Holes 6-7 were created by Christopher Kunkel.
