This document includes a group activity and a whole class activity both demonstrating the midpoint and distance formulas.

The group activity has students categorizing facts about the formulas into a Venn diagram. It enables the students to see the conceptual similarities and differences between the two formulas.

The whole class activity gets the students out of their desks and evaluating! The students create their own coordinate and find the midpoint and distance between their point and the points on the provided cards.
