About this worksheet

What students practice

  • Students plot points in all four quadrants to represent robot test locations.
  • Students use absolute value to find distances between points with a shared coordinate.
  • Students apply horizontal and vertical distances to robot routes and cable limits.

How to use

Use after introducing signed coordinates. Have students mark routes on the grids and show distance calculations beside their answers.

Curriculum

Common Core standard covered

6.NS.C.8

2.
Which calculation gives the straight horizontal distance from A to B?
  • A. |3 − (−5)| = 8 feet
  • B. |4| − |4| = 0 feet
  • C. |−5| − |3| = 2 feet
  • D. |3 + (−5)| = 2 feet
