Partitioning a Segment – High School Geometry Task Cards

These 16 task cards give high school geometry students practice partitioning a segment. Students find the point that divides a segment into a given ratio, using algebraic methods and coordinates.

Segment partitioning is an often difficult concept, so the cards offer a variety of problems with ratios and coordinates.
