"A Slice of the Cone"
Here is a set of lessons that explore conics in a number of different ways. Starting with modeling how a conic is produced by the way a plane cuts the cone, to solving complex word problems, algebra learners progress through a series of...
Curated OER
Introduction to Conic Sections
Learners slice cones and identify the different conics formed. They then derive the formula to solve problems involving cones. Pull out the TI calculators to visualize the slicing and the different parts and properties created.
Curated OER
Special Graph Paper
In this algebra worksheet, students explore the different graphs of conics such as ellipse, hyperbola and parabola. They use special graph paper to graph. There is an answer key with this problem.
Curated OER
Rational Functions and Conics
In this math instructional activity, students practice the calculation of rational functions and conics. This instructional activity has 6 problems for the students to solve.
Curated OER
Faster speed-Shorter Time
Students calculate the inverse variation, and speed given the formulas. In this algebra lesson, students investigate properties of conics, focusing on the hyperbola. They identify the distance between the directrix and other parts of the...

Algebra 2 Test
In this algebra worksheet, students solve problems involving functions, systems and conics. They simplify radicals and graph parabolas identifying the focus and ellipse. There are 20 questions.
Curated OER
Conics and Graphing
For this algebra worksheet, students solve equations by graphing an ellipse, circle and hyperbola. They match equations to graphs and define each type of function. There are 20 questions total.
Alabama Learning Exchange
Ellipse
Students explore the concept of ellipses. In this ellipses lesson, they construct ellipses on their paper and follow directions on a worksheet that allow them to investigate an ellipse in more depth by looking at the major axis, foci, etc.
Curated OER
Conics
In this precalculus instructional activity, students find the equations that correspond to the conics. They apply concepts of applied mathematics to 2 detailed problems.
Curated OER
Standard Conic Section
In this precalculus worksheet, students put the equations in standard form and solve the problems focusing upon finding the conic sections for the two questions.
