Conics

The activities in this collection are designed for Algebra 2 or precalculus students studying conic sections.

Grades: 9th - 12th Grade

• Circles and Ellipses

  Circles and ellipses can be described by terms such as center, radius, and focus. We can use these geometric and algebraic properties to write equations.

• Polygraph: Circles and Ellipses
• Circle Patterns

• Hyperbolas and Parabolas

  Hyperbolas and parabolas are not so different from circles and ellipses. We can use many of the same ideas to describe these figures as well.

• Polygraph: Conics
• Building Conic Sections

• Working with Conic Sections

  We can use creativity and conic sections to investigate a wide range of curves.

• Creative Conics
• Des-pet
• Two Truths and a Lie: Conics
