Students review the basic geometry definitions of segment and midpoint, and learn to use drawing and measurement tools. They explore changes in measurements as the figure is altered.

The purpose of the activity is for students to verify how to determine the coordinates of an endpoint of a segment, given the midpoint and other endpoint, using the dynamic capabilities of Cabri Jr.

Find the midpoint of a segment on the coordinate plane, or find the endpoint of a segment given one point and the midpoint. This is a four-problem quiz/practice.

Step by step instructions are given for the students to draw a segment, find the midpoint, and label the coordinates of the two endpoints and the midpoint. The students then record the data in a table for various segments. Based on the...

Twenty problems present a variety of problems working with various aspects of finding the midpoint of a line segment. They are given with each step to the solution cleverly revealed one at a time. You can work each step of the problem...

Investigate finding the midpoint of a line segment and derive the formula for the midpoint of two points on a coordinate plane. This lesson plan was created by exemplary Alabama Math Teachers through the AMSTI project.

Not only does this site show what the slope-intercept form is, but it helps you find the slope and the intercept of a line. There is also additional information on parallel lines, parametric form, and the distance between two points.

Find the midpoint of a segment on the coordinate plane, or find the endpoint of a segment given one point and the midpoint. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Calculate the distance between numbers in the complex plane as the modulus of the difference, and the midpoint of a segment as the average of the numbers at its...

[Free Registration/Login Required] This flipchart has a clear explanation of ways to use the midpoint of a line segment with algebra.

The student will derive and use the slope and midpoint formulas to verify geometric relationship that include parallelism and perpendicularity of lines. Then, the student will determine an equation of a line parallel or perpendicular to...

This MathWorld site offers a lesson on finding the midpoint of a line segment using a compass and finding the midpoint of the sides of a triangle. This site also has an interesting way of drawing two triangle with equal area by finding...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Given the endpoints of a line segment, find the midpoint between them using the Midpoint Formula.

This lesson will provide real world examples that require a learner to set up and solve for the midpoint of a segment using the midpoint formula. It is 5 of 5 in the series titled "Midpoint Formula in the Real World."

This lesson demonstrates how to find a missing x or y coordinate of a segment when given the midpoint of the two points on a coordinate plane. It is 2 of 5 in the series titled "Finding a Missing Coordinate using the Midpoint Formula."

A list of geometry definitions and a matching activity.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Apply the definitions of midpoint, segment bisector, and angle bisector.

In this activity, students review definitions of terms such as right triangle, hypotenuse, midpoint, vertices, and equidistant. They also discover an important characteristic of the midpoint of the hypotenuse.

In this activity, students connect the midpoints of two sides of a triangle, to draw the midsegment of the triangle. They investigate how the length of this segment relates to the third side of the triangle. [Requires Adobe Reader.]

In this activity, students use the tools of Cabri Jr to test their knowledge of geometry. They investigate the properties of the shape formed by connecting the midpoints of adjacent sides of a quadrilateral.
