August 15, 20131) Sit. 2) Materials out. 3) Backpacks away. 4) Do Now SILENTLY. Learning Goal: • IWBAT calculate the distance and midpoint of line segments using the midpoint and distance formula. Homework: • Determine the distance and midpoint between ESAT and given landmarks. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Do Now: • Write the converse, inverse, and contrapositive of the following statement. Determine the truth value of each conditional statement. • If the shape is a trapezoid, then the shape is a quadrilateral.
Agenda: • Do Now (10 min) • Review Homework (10 min) • Distance Formula (25 min) • Distance Maps (20 min) • Midpoint Construction and Formula (25 min) • Midpoint Maps (20 min) • Closure (10 min)
Distance Formula B. I do example: Julie lives at (9,-3) and her school is at (1,4). How far is her school from her house if she walked in a straight line to school? (1 unit = 1 block).
Distance Formula C. We do example: 3 students wrote their first step to the problem. Which student do you think has the correct approach? Question: Jamie’s bike ride this morning was 42 miles (there and back). If she started at her house (5,18) and she rode all the way to the edge of town at (-4,y). What is y? (1 unit = 1 mile)
Distance Formula D. You do example: If a rope’s one end is at (5,7) and the other end is at (1,0), how long is the rope?
Distance Map Activity • You will get a map of ESAT and surrounding community. • Plot the listed key landmarks on the coordinate plane. • Identify two given landmarks and construct a segment that connects both landmarks. • Find the distance between landmarks using either the Pythagorean Theorem or Distance Formula.
Midpoint Map Activity • Refer to the map of ESAT and surrounding community. • Identify the segments you have already constructed. • Construct the midpoint of these segments using a compass and straightedge. • Find the midpoint between landmarks using either the midpoint formula. • Verify that the midpoint is the same for the geometric and algebraic method.
Homework • Dodger Stadium is on (0, -7). Calculate the distance between ESAT (-1, 5) and Dodger Stadium. • What are the coordinates of the midpoint between ESAT and Dodger Stadium? • Calculate the distance between ESAT and another landmark of your choice. • What are the coordinates of the midpoint between ESAT and your landmark? Any landmarks near the midpoint?
Closure Journal Entry • Write a response to the following question on a separate sheet of paper. • Why is the distance and midpoint formula beneficial to our understanding of the environment? • “The distance formula is beneficial to our understanding of the environment because _________. • “The midpoint formula is beneficial to our understanding of the environment because _________.
