Distance & Midpoint Foldable

File for the Post: Distance & Midpoint Foldable

Below are pictures and files of my distance and midpoint interactive notebook pages. I created this foldable last year with inspiration from this #MTBoS blog post: http://highschoolmathadventures.blogspot.com/. I wanted to scaffold the steps for using the distance and midpoint formulas for my special education and ELL students so I decided to make a list of steps in a hexagon-typed format.

By the end of the year, my students do not use the distance formula (only the Pythagorean Theorem). But, students are required and expected to use the distance formula, so I decided to make a foldable for review.

"2B: Derive and use the distance, slope, and midpoint formulas to verify geometric relationships, including congruence of segments and parallelism or perpendicularity of pairs of lines."



Students will write down the formula on the front of their foldable.



This is how the inside of the foldable looks like.




The next day, I am planning for students to complete the following distance and midpoint stations activity in their notebook. I love making activities that fit in our interactive notebooks so that students can reference it or take pictures of the cards and finish it at home for some extra practice.

  1. Very nice! Do you still have the activity for midpoint and distance? I can't find it on your activity page.

  6. Hey! How did you make the scavenger hunt answer key small to fit in the INB? It print too big for me.

  7. Very easy-to-use notes; I especially appreciate the inclusion of the midpoint/endpoint example. I'm looking forward to using the scavenger hunt to follow up tomorrow. Thank you!
