This is a guided note and introduction activity to the distance formula. The activity starts with a basic understanding of distance with horizontal and vertical lines on a coordinate plane. It then asks students to discover how to find the distance of diagonal lines using the Pythagorean Theorem.

Activity where a Dan the triangle must go home. Students use rigid motions: translations, reflections, and rotations to get Dan home. Students must describe their work and reasoning. This activity includes a 4 point rubric to help facilitate grading and expectations for students.

This is meant to be given after students have learned about the different type of rigid motions. The assignment can be tweaked to include translations and reflections. Students are asked to write about their process of the mathematics. A similar problem with an exemplar is also attached so that students can see the expectations when writing about mathematics.

This is meant to be a homework assignment. Before starting a lesson in rigid motion and specifically in reflection, have students complete this assignment. The product is in word so that you can tailor it to your school and your students.

This is a guided note activity meant to introduce students to the important parts of a parabola including the vertex, line of symmetry, and roots. It also includes a teacher answer key so that it is easy to use.

Graphic organizer to help students share their understanding of slope. Includes instructions and a rubric.

This is a worksheet used to introduce horizontal vs vertical lines.
