Worksheet directions

Grade 6 • Review • Choose a strategy for each problem. Explain or check your thinking where requested.

Sample questions

1. On a park map, A = (-2, 3) and B = (3, 3), with one grid unit representing one meter. Find the horizontal distance and explain how absolute values help.
2. A is (−3, 2) and B is (4, 2). Find their distance in grid units. Explain how distances from the y-axis help.
3. Plot A(1, -4) and B(1, 5). Find the vertical distance. Explain why their first coordinates must agree for this method.
4. On a park map, A = (-3, 3) and B = (4, 3), with one grid unit representing one meter. Find the horizontal distance and explain how absolute values help.
5. Plot A(3/2, -4) and B(3/2, 5). Find the vertical distance. Explain why their first coordinates must agree for this method.
6. Plot A(2, -4) and B(2, 5). Find the vertical distance. Explain why their first coordinates must agree for this method.
