Distance Over Quadrants

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is centered on teaching coordinate graphing with a focus on negative and positive values within the Cartesian coordinate system. It provides a set of ordered pairs, each associated with a letter from A to J, which students are required to plot on the graph. The coordinate plane displayed includes both negative and positive axes, expanding across four quadrants. The instructions are clear, directing students to plot the points and then calculate the distances between specific pairs, fostering an interactive learning experience.

The worksheet is designed to educate students on how to handle both positive and negative values when plotting points on a coordinate plane. It encourages the development of a thorough understanding of how the coordinate system is organized, encompassing all four quadrants. Through calculating distances between points, students practice applying the Pythagorean theorem or use it as an introduction to the concept. This sheet aims to strengthen the students’ graphing skills while also providing foundational knowledge for future studies in analytic geometry.
