4.1 Petanque (Outside Game) 4.1.1 Worksheet (Teacher) What is the shortest way from the player to the jack? A straight line So for every two points A, B there can be no more than one line that contains each of the points A, B. Take a ruler and a pencil and connect these two points by a straight line. The line is the shortest way between two points. Is that a line or a line segment? It is a line segment, because it is a line with a beginning and an end.

4.1 Petanque (Outside Game) 4.1.1 Worksheet (Teacher) How far can the line that connects the player and the jack go? Indefinitely = a line contains an infinite number of points. How many lines can contain the X point? One point can be contained by an infinite number of lines. How many lines can contain three non-collinear points such as the player, the jack and X? At least two distinct lines.

4.1 Petanque (Outside Game) 4.1.2 Lesson 2 Objectives The participants learn to draw a line by 2 points. The students learn to measure the distance between two points. The students learn the unit of length: metric system ≠ Imperial system ≠US system. The students learn about the metric system = International System of Units (French: Système international d'unités, SI) + non-SI The students learn about the meter and its subdivisions. The students learn to convert from km to m to dm to cm and to mm. The students learn to compare distances.
