Instructional Ideas

• Use this resource to supplement a pre-algebra or algebra one unit on graphing in the coordinate plane
• Encourage students to use this as a reference when completing in-class and homework assignments
• Use the example problems on the foldable as guided practice when introducing the concepts of midpoint and distance

Pros

• Foldable template is available as a Word document that can be modified by teachers to meet their needs
• Includes example problems that involve both positive and negative integers

Cons

• Instructions are not included for creating the foldable, but by making two-sided copies of the pages it should become clear where to cut and fold
