Midpoint and Distance Formula Project

This is a small project I assigned students.  It reinforces application of the midpoint and distance formulas in addition to providing an opportunity for the students to problem solve and be creative.  I specifically designed the rubric for extremely quick grading.  You will notice that every student has the same problem, which eases checking for accuracy.  I also did not require students to use the midpoint and/or distance formulas...as long as they could explain in writing their methodology in solving the problem that was good enough for me.  The end product was a variety of maps that were great to display.
