Title: Medición y cálculo en diferentes contextos: Distancia de un punto a una recta

Grade: 1st year of Secondary School
Subject: Mathematics

Objective: The student will be able to find the distance from a point to a line and the distance between two parallel lines.

Methodology: Inquiry-Based Learning

Interdisciplinary Problem: Distance from a point to a line

Session 1:
Phase 1: Introduction (10 minutes)

• Engage students by presenting a real-life scenario where finding the distance between a point and a line is important (e.g., measuring the distance from a car to a fence).


• Ask students if they have encountered similar situations and how they would solve them.


• Introduce the objective and the problem to be addressed during this unit.

Phase 2: Development (30 minutes)

• Divide students into small groups and provide each group with a set of manipulatives (rulers, paper, and pencils).


• Instruct students to experiment with different ways to find the distance from a point to a line using the provided materials.


• Encourage students to discuss their findings and share their strategies within their groups.


• Observe and provide guidance as needed.

Phase 3: Closure (10 minutes)

• Bring the class back together and allow each group to share their findings and strategies.


• Summarize the different approaches and highlight the importance of using different methods to solve problems.


• Assign a homework task where students will apply their newfound knowledge to solve a similar problem.

Session 2:
Phase 1: Introduction (10 minutes)

• Review the previous session's learning by asking students to explain their findings and strategies.


• Introduce the concept of parallel lines
