Lesson plan #2.1 - Midpoint of a Line Segment

Subject:MPM2D MATHEMATICS

Grade: 10

Lesson No: 2.1

Duration: 3 hours

Unit 2 - Analytic Geometry

Topic: 2.1 - Midpoint of a Line Segment

Overall Expectations (Directly from The Ontario Curriculum)

model and solve problems involving the intersection of two straight lines;

solve problems using analytic geometry involving properties of lines and line segments; verify geometric properties of triangles and quadrilaterals, using analytic geometry

Specific Expectations (Directly from The Ontario Curriculum)

– develop the formula for the midpoint of a line segment, and use this formula to solve problems (e.g., determine the coordinates of the midpoints of the sides of a triangle, given the coordinates of the vertices, and verify concretely or by using dynamic geometry software);
