Parametric Projectile Motion

For Teachers 9th - 12th Standards
Learners relate projectile motion to parametric equations as they identify the velocity and angle of a projectile. They create a picture on the navigator to visualize the word problem.

Parametric Races & Slopes

For Teachers 9th - 12th Standards
Learners investigate the slopes and parametric equations. In this calculus lesson, students solve parametric equations with specific parameters. They relate lines and slopes based on the derivative of the equation.

As the Wheel Turns

For Teachers 10th - 12th Standards
This is not your typical Ferris wheel problem. In this exercise, your class will combine their knowledge of sinusoidal functions as well as linear motion to come up with parametric equations that model the position of a point on the edge...

Cannonball

For Teachers 8th - 10th
Learners calculate the speed, motion and distance of a projectile. In this geometry lesson, students obtain measurements while calculating velocity. They graph their results and make predictions.
