Description: Prior to this activity, students should have received a lesson over: - Finding the midpoint of a line segment - Using the distance formula to find the length of a line segment -Simplifying non-perfect square roots Card tasks are outlined below: -Cards 1 - 6 require the students to find the midpoint of a line segment, given 2 endpoints (activity: fill-in-the-blank) -Cards 7 - 8 require the students find the endpoint of a line segment, given the midpoint and the other endpoint (activity: fill-in-the-blank) -Cards 9 - 14 require the students to find the length of a line segment using the distance formula, given 2 endpoints (activity: multiple-choice) -Cards 15 - 16 involve finding the length of a line segment and require the students to identify the step in the solution process in which an error was made. This is considered Error Analysis. (activity: multiple-choice)
