Distance Between Two Points Worksheets | Coordinate Pairs & Graphs | 8th Grade

Two no-prep worksheets on the distance between two points on the coordinate plane. Students practice using the pythagorean theorem to find the distance between two points on a coordinate plane. In the first worksheet there are 16 problems in which students find the distance between two points given their coordinates. In the second worksheet there are 12 problems in which students find the distance between two points that are shown on a coordinate plane.
Detailed solutions to both worksheets are included.

Master Finding Distance on a Coordinate Grid!
This scaffolded, 2-worksheet practice packet is designed to take the stress out of teaching coordinate geometry. It seamlessly guides students through two distinct styles of problem-solving, making it an excellent tool for transitioning learners from visual grids to abstract algebraic formulas.

Perfect for Key Stage 3, Key Stage 4, and GCSE Maths preparation (both Foundation and Higher tiers), these worksheets build strong computational fluency, graphing confidence, and critical algebraic skills.

What’s Included in This 2-Worksheet Set:

• Worksheet 1 (Coordinate Pairs Practice): 16 problems focusing on finding the distance between two given coordinate points, featuring a healthy mix of positive and negative integers.
• Worksheet 2 (Plotted Points on a Grid): 12 problems where students identify the points visually plotted on a coordinate plane grid before calculating the straight-line distance.
• Full Step-by-Step Answer Key: Includes complete, fully worked solution pages showing the exact substitution into the distance formula to save you hours of marking or to allow for independent student self-checking.

Perfect For:

• Independent Classwork & Homework Packets
• Pythagoras’ Theorem & Distance Formula Intervention
• Cover Lessons & Emergency Cover Work
• Maths Stations & Small Group Support
• End-of-Unit Revision or Exam Preparation

Curriculum Alignment (UK National Curriculum & GCSE):

• KS3 Mathematics: Position and direction – Find the distance between points on a coordinate grid using a variety of integers.
• KS4 / GCSE Maths: Geometry and Measures – Apply Pythagoras’ theorem and coordinate geometry to find the length of a line segment connecting two points.
