Practice with the distance formula using coordinate points on a pirate treasure map. Compare distances, calculate distances, identify coordinate points, and explain thinking all included in this activity!

Send your students on a quest to rescue the royal family from the locked tower using the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for missing values!

Student centered activity involving using the midpoint and distance formulas. Also asks for students to create their own word problems related to midpoint and distance.

Google slides presentation and student guided practice sheet to practice using the midpoint formula. Includes graphing line segment practice and a writing prompt to get students thinking about midpoint before you begin your lesson!

Online template for students to solve for the midpoint of a line segment and drag and drop answers into the correct place.

Practice problems for solving the Pythagorean Theorem for a missing side (includes problems missing the hypotenuse and the legs). Includes an additional extension word problem that asks students to draw a picture of the scenario and solve for a missing value. Google Slides document formatted to be printed as worksheets or assigned digitally.

Give this assignment to students to creatively practice with the distance formula. Students will act as if they are working for a company that is designing and calculating distances in a new neighborhood. This assignment practices procedural fluency with the distance formula, critical thinking, and mathematical reasoning. Also reviews skills such as rounding and graphing coordinate points.

I usually use this activity for students to explore the internet and come up with their own notes on parallel and perpendicular lines. I will let students use their phones or computers to look up definitions and examples and fill in the boxes with whatever they find. Then I will have them share their findings with a partner, then with the class. This can also be used as a review, formative assessment, or quiz after a lesson about parallel and perpendicular lines.

Worksheet for students to practice solving for missing values and angles in triangles. Can be used as a class assignment, homework, or assessment. Includes a problem that requires students to compare answers and explain which answer is correct.

Guided notes with examples and practice problems for the distance formula (coordinate geometry).

Practice problems for using the midpoint formula to solve for the midpoint between two endpoints. 3 different sets of problems each with an answer key for varied classwork or creative grouping.

Practice problems for vertical angles - can be used as independent or guided practice. Varying levels of difficulty. Key is included!

Worksheet with linear angle pairs for independent or guided practice. Various levels of difficulty. Key included!
