Distance on the Coordinate Plane
This 2-page packet helps 6th graders understand how to find the distance between two points on a coordinate plane. It builds conceptual understanding and includes practice problems.
“I need a lesson and activity to help my students understand distance on a coordinate plane.”
Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this packet as a 30-45 minute whole-class or small-group activity.
- Discussion question: How is finding the distance on a coordinate plane similar to or different from finding the distance on a number line?
- For struggling readers, encourage them to draw the points and connect them with a line to visualize the distance.
- Advanced learners can explore finding the distance between points where only one coordinate is the same.
