I think it should model something similar to Activity 1.3.13
Two tasks in the problem.
Task 1 can give coordinates of specific locations and ask students to calculate the distance between them. State the exact and approximate answer. Answers should include the exact answer and the decimal approximation.
Vary scenarios and names (if applicable)
post office and grocery store
one friend to another friend's house
buildings in different cities, etc.
An example:
On a map, Sarah’s house is located at (−2, 5) and Angelo’s house is at (6,−2). What is the distance between Sarah’s house and Angelo’s house?
Task 2 can state that another person/place is located in the middle between the two original locations from Task 1, and then ask students to identify the location of the middle as an ordered pair.
An example:
Suppose your other friend, Clifton, lives in the middle between Sarah and Angelo. What is the location of Clifton’s house on the map?
