About this worksheet

Midpoint and dividing a segment. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

  • I can find the midpoint of a segment from its endpoints, including negative coordinates.
  • I can find the point a fraction of the way along a segment, or the point that splits it in a ratio.
  • I can find a missing endpoint or coordinate from the midpoint.

Standard: G-GPE.B.6

Words to know

midpoint: The point halfway along a segment.

leg (of the triangle under a segment): The across part (run) or the up part (rise) of the segment.

a fraction of the way: The same fraction of each leg, counted from the starting point.

ratio 2 : 3: Split into 2 + 3 = 5 equal parts; the point is 2 parts from the start.

Common mistakes

Your child subtracted the coordinates in the midpoint formula.

Your child added the coordinates but forgot to divide by 2.

Your child dropped the minus signs when adding coordinates.

What to say

Ask: is the middle of 2 and 10 at 4 or at 6?

Ask: halfway means what fraction of the way?

Ask: what is -4 + 6?
