Shape-Up Puzzle - Midpoint Formula - Level 1 - Version 2 | Printable Math Activity | Low-Prep

Help your students master the Midpoint Formula with this hands‑on, self‑checking, differentiated Shape‑Up Puzzle – Level 1, Version 2. This version includes a brand‑new set of 10 midpoint problems while keeping the same trusted structure, supports, and visual layout as Version 1. Teachers can confidently use this puzzle without reteaching directions, and students benefit from familiar formatting paired with fresh practice.
Designed for learners who need clear structure, visual support, and step‑by‑step guidance, this Level 1 puzzle focuses on the foundational mechanics of the midpoint formula - perfect for reinforcing skills, providing additional practice, or supporting students who struggle with memorizing formulas and substituting values correctly.
Students will solve 10 new midpoint problems, match each solution to the correct puzzle piece, and assemble a star shape that provides instant visual feedback. Built‑in differentiation, quick reference sheets, and scaffolded student work pages make this activity accessible for all learners while still offering challenge and extension opportunities.
This resource is low‑prep, classroom‑ready, and ideal for whole‑group instruction, small‑group practice, stations, intervention, or early‑finisher enrichment.

Skills & Standards Alignment:
This activity supports key middle school and early high school geometry standards, including:

• Using the midpoint formula to find the midpoint between two points
• Substituting values accurately into coordinate geometry formulas
• Understanding midpoint as an average of x‑ and y‑coordinates
• Visualizing points and distances on the coordinate plane
• Building conceptual understanding through modeling and spatial reasoning
• Checking work independently through self‑correcting structures
  Aligned to Common Core Geometry standards related to coordinate geometry and reasoning with points, lines, and distances.

Check out Version 1 and upcoming Version 3 for additional Level 1 puzzles with the same structure and supports - perfect for stations, homework, intervention cycles, or bundling.
Every student can access the content - and every student can be challenged.
