Distance Formula Digital Pixel Art | Distance Between Two Points

This activity covers the common core standard:

8.G.B.8: Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance between two points in a coordinate system.

Both pixel arts are self-checking Google Sheets, themed after fall, autumn, and Thanksgiving/Halloween. The images are versatile, so it can really be used at any time in the school year. Students practice a series of problems, and get immediate feedback as they go. Correct answers turn green and incorrect answers stay red. As students type in correct answers, a mystery picture appears. The Google Sheets are all self checking & digital, so it can easily be assigned through Google Classroom or any online learning platform.

There's no prep required. This is great for virtual or in person learning!
