When is the distance formula not accurate? Referencing a map of the school, pairs determine the walking distance between two locations. Creating coordinates for each location, pupils determine the distance between the two points and...

After reading a one-page passage on how to understand and solve distance/rate problems, young mathematicians answer six word problems that have them correctly set up the formula in order to solve for the distnace, rate, or time in the...

Through a variety of hands-on activities and physical scenarios, this far-reaching unit leads learners through an exceptionally thorough exploration of circles and parabolas as conic sections. Geometric construction techniques are used...

Middle and high schoolers solve and complete 29 various types of problems. First, they match each name with its correct formula. Then, students find the length of the missing side and the distance between the two points given. In...

For this distance formula worksheet, students complete the distance formula with numbers with decimals. Students complete 16 problems total.

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...

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders solve problems in which they find the distance between two points on a coordinate plane.  The two page worksheet contains a combination of eleven multiple choice and free response...

In this distance activity, students solve 12 multiple choice, short answer, and graphing problems.  Students use the distance formula to find the distance between two points.

Students explore the concept of the Pythagorean Theorem. In this Pythagorean Theorem activity, students derive the distance formula and slope of a line from the Pythagorean Theorem.

Students create ways to find the number of square miles that lie in a triangle having vertices at A, B, and C. They compute the distance between two points and use Heron's formula to find the area of the triangle. Finally, students...
