Today I will indroduce the conic section unit and discuss the essential question. As a class we will go over the rubric for this unit.
-
Go over the "Guidelines for a Safe Learning Environment" handout.
-
We will watch a Khan Acadmeny video that introduces conic sections. (10 minutes)
-
We will use an online tool to investigate where conic sections come from. (10 minutes)
-
This unit will take approximately 4 weeks including time for assessments and reteaching if necessary.
-
We will spend one day reivewing the midpoint and distance formulas.
-
Students will participate in the intstagram photos activity. (30 minutes)
-
This activitiy will be on going throughout the unit. We will review the google doc at the end of the unit.
-
We will spend two days going over parabola vocabulary, graphing prarabolas and writing equations of parabolas.
-
We will take the first assessment.
-
We will spend two days going over circle vocabulary, graphing circles and writing equations of circles. We will go through the Circle Prezi.
-
We will spend two days going over ellipse vocabulary, graphing ellipses and writing equations of ellipses.
-
We will take the second assessment.
-
We will spend two days going over hyperbola vocabulary, graphing hyperbolas and writing equations of hyperbolas.
-
We will take the third assessment.
-
We will use desmos to create a picture using all four conic sections. We will spend one day on this actvity.
-
We will spend half a period doing the Polygraph: Conics activity on desmos.
-
We will spend 3 days learning how to classify conic sections from equations. We will go through the Classifying conics Prezi.
-
We will take the fourth and final assessment.
