About this worksheet

The complex plane, and the absolute value of a complex number. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

  • I can plot a + bi and name a point as a + bi.
  • I can find |a + bi|, the distance from 0, with a right triangle.
  • I can find the distance and the midpoint between two complex numbers.

Standard: N-CN.B.4 (+), N-CN.B.5 (+), N-CN.B.6 (+)

Words to know

complex plane: A grid: real numbers across, i numbers up.

midpoint: The point halfway between two points.

distance: The length of the straight segment between two points.

Common mistakes

Your child swapped the two parts: the real part goes across and the i part goes up.

Your child got the sign of the i part wrong: below the real axis is negative.

Your child stopped at the distance squared and did not take the square root.

What to say

Ask: which number tells how far across?

Ask: is this point above or below the across line?

Ask: which number times itself gives this?

Questions parents ask

What is the most common mistake with the complex plane, and the absolute value of a complex number?
