📚 Part 1: Learning Targets & Multiple Choice

I can... find distances between two points on the coordinate plane using horizontal/vertical reasoning and the distance formula.

Success criteria: I can identify horizontal or vertical distances, apply d = √[(x2−x1)^2 + (y2−y1)^2], show steps, and give exact or rounded answers as required.

Final answer:

Final answer (write which points and why):

Dyslexia-friendly reading option: Read each question slowly. Underline both point coordinates before calculating. Use a ruler or highlight numbers to track changes.

Differentiation strategies: For support, compute horizontal and vertical distances first or provide graph paper with points pre-plotted. For challenge, give both exact radical form and decimal approximations.

Extension activity: Choose three points you invent. Compute all three pairwise distances, show work, and determine whether the three points form a right triangle using the Pythagorean relationship. Write a one-sentence conclusion.
