Description
Students use the Pythagorean Theorem to find distances between points on a coordinate grid in this no-prep, self-checking activity.
Four types of problems are included:
- Distance between 2 points on a graph
- Distance between 2 points sketched (for large numbers)
- Perimeter of polygons on a graph
- Real world map application problems
Solutions are in the format of whole numbers, decimals, roots, and rounded approximations. Problems range from very basic to challenging!
16 problems are included. Each one is presented with 4 choices or a button to get extra help. If students click for help, they are given helpful hints for solving. Once they select an answer choice, they get instant feedback to see if they are correct, along with the correct solution shown.
View the Video Preview to see all the problems included.
I love this resource because…
- It requires no prep.
- Students can get tips along the way.
- Students get instant feedback.
- Problems start simple but progress to challenge all students to think!
The final slide asks students 4 questions about distance to explain in their own words. This is the only slide that will record any student work and could be used for a grade or feedback.
This resource is included in digital format for Google Slides and PowerPoint.
The distance formula is not used or required for these problems (although students could use it on their own if they know it).
