Function Junction

This worksheet has students plot given points of a trapezoid. Then students must use midpoint formula to find the coordinates of the midsegment. Next, they verify that the segments are parallel using the formula for slope. Then they must use distance formula to verify the length of the midsegment.

After trying to get my students to do things that would help them solve word problems with little success, I created this table, similar to a Frayer Model, for students to complete when they answer word problems. It helped many of my students and many would draw the table by hand when I did not provide them as a handout. I type the problems in the middle box and they complete the sections around the problem.
