Support young mathematicians with learning the concepts of midpoint and distance with this foldable resource. Offering both graphic examples and written equations, this reference clearly demonstrates for students how these...

Learners revisit midpoint and segments by graphing on the TI or computer. This activity can be done with pencil and paper, but is more interactive if it is done on a TI-navigator.

How many times can you find the midpoint of a line segment given two points? Well, more times than anyone probably needs to with these ten different worksheets, each with 24 problems. All the points used in the problems are positive and...

Students use the Pythagorean formula to find the length of a line. Afterward, they explore the midpoint formula to determine the midpoint of a line with a non-zero slope on a coordinate plane. Students complete assigned problems and...

This task asks learners to prove that the segment joining the midpoints of two sides of a parallelogram is both congruent and parallel to an adjacent side of the parallelogram. The activity would be good to use in a discussion about how...

Using a TI Navigator to drag quadrilaterals around to create different shapes, students learn how to draw midpoints in their quadrilaterals. In this geometry lesson, students solve problems using the properties of quadrilaterals. 

Learners calculate the midpoint of a line. In this geometry lesson, students identify the different parts of the coordinate plane. They use the midpoint formula to find the middle of segments between a pair of coordinates.

Students solve problems of area using the trapezoid and midpoint rule. In this calculus activity, students take the derivative of the functions as they approximate the area under a curve. They calculate the exact area using the area...

Students complete Part A: Dissecting a Circle. They generate their own chords within the circle. Students measure the various parts of the arc in the shot put pit. The first two measurements, the chord and distance from the midpoint of...

This traditional textbook style unit includes vocabulary, a direct explanation section, examples, practice problems that directly line up with the explanations and examples, and a unit summary review and practice problems. Learners get...

Students play a "Battleship" type of game to practice graphing on a coordinate plane. In this coordinate graphing lesson, students select a point on their grid to place their "battleship." It the opposing team misses the ship, the...

Your learners connect the new concepts of transformations in the coordinate plane to their previous knowledge using the solid vocabulary development in this unit. Like a foreign language, mathematics has its own set of vocabulary terms...

Learners find the midpoint between two numbers, shade fractional amounts of rectangles as well as decimal amounts of rectangles, and explain their mathematical reasoning in words. The assessment is a great way to check for understanding...

Your geometry learners use their knowledge of various geometric concepts to write proofs. Starting with givens containing parallel line segments with transversals and triangles and quadrilaterals, and the mid-point and distance formulas;...

Students explore the different properties of conics. In this algebra instructional activity, students calculate the midpoint of a line, the distances between two points as they get ready to find the focus and directrix in eclipse and...

Young scholars classify lines, slopes and shapes. In this calculus lesson, students calculate the midpoint, segment and equation of a circle. They also review what a slope and angle of inclination is.

Tenth graders investigate parallel lines and the angles formed when cut by a transversal. For this geometry lesson, 10th graders construct perpendicular lines and discuss midpoint, segments and perpendicular bisectors. They relate...

Tenth graders plot points on a coordinate plane. In this geometry instructional activity, 10th graders identify the different quadrants, plots points on a number line and coordinate plane and solve for the midpoint of line segments.

Acute angle, line of symmetry, and vertex are a few terms you'll find in a set of 90 flashcards designed to reinforce math vocabulary. Included in the set are two types of cards; a word card printed in bold font, and a...

In Utah, one stretch of highway goes for 106 miles without a single gas station. Where should people build one? Scholars face the dilemma of where to place a new gas station between three cities. They consider distance and proximity to...

Pupils examine a math worksheet and determine how to divide a single triangle into four of equal area. Using geometric principles, they sketch two additional ways to divide into into four equal triangles. To conclude, students explain...

Students investigate the properties of quadrilaterals. In this geometry lesson, students solve problems dealing with construction and designs. They work with quadrilaterals, midpoints and parallelograms.

Students explore the concept of quadrilaterals. In this quadrilaterals lesson, students use the slope formula, midpoint formula, and distance formula to justify that a given quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

Students calculate the perimeter of shapes. In this geometry lesson, students relate properties of polygons to the real world. They find length, midpoint and slope.
