Finding Distances Challenge
This year I have made a personal goal to include more projects in my classroom. I'm not thinking large multi-day poster projects, but smaller projects where students can apply key ideas to something other than practice problems. Last week students programmed Ozobots while they were learning about naming points/lines/planes. This week we applied our knowledge of the distance formula to create a triangle on the coordinate plane and then find the perimeter around it. Students were given two options - I created a version using the Pythagorean Theorem and my co-teacher created one using the distance formula. Students could pick the one they were more comfortable using.

Nice! When I need to do perimeter distances, I always ask the students do you wish there was a faster way to do ALL the calculations.
ReplyDeleteI then introduce them to BASIC programming on the TI-84 or to the use of spreadsheets to do the calculations faster. They still need to know the formulas,but now they are able to also learn the beginnings of other useful technology skills as well!
These look awesome!
