CONICS ARTWORK! Programming Conics Artwork on the Graphing Calculator to successfully TEACH the Conic Sections!! Emily Gockerman Ursuline Academy Cincinnati, OH
2
PROJECT DESCRIPTION Hand out right after beginning unit!
Students work on project throughout unit and find equations of each type of conic section as topic is learned
3
Some of the Project Requirements
Create a drawing/design on graph paper (cartoon character, sports object or mascot, design or a scene—BE CREATIVE!!). It should include (at least) the following 12 graphs (or pieces of graphs in your creation: a. 2 circles b. 2 horizontal or vertical ellipses (or 1 of each) c. 1 horizontal parabola d. 1 vertical parabola e. 1 horizontal or vertical hyperbola f. 2 lines g. 1 absolute value graph h. any 2 more conic equations of your choice
4
More Project Requirements
Create a table with four vertical columns titled as indicated and fill in the information for each numbered graph of your sketch. Then… Just WRITE THE PROGRAM!!
5
Students Turn In: Initialed Drawing/Sketch Neat copy of the table
Colored Final-Printed out Design
6
Grading Rubric: Drawing (must be initialed) 15
Equations (must be initialed) Program Final Design (colored and glued to construction paper) Creativity and Neatness __ TOTAL

Some Examples of Projects!
Begin with a sketch…. Create something AMAZING!!

Problems Students May Encounter
Solving Equations For “Calculator” or “y = ‘s” form can be tricky Finding equations of parabolas & hyperbolas Using Restrictions Making small errors when typing in program & finding those errors!
