Looking for a complete go-to guide for the standard form of conics? This five-page packet does a nice job of connecting conics to prior knowledge of functions and transformations. Adapt the resource as Algebra II lesson plan...

Explore nonlinear systems through graphs and algebra. High schoolers begin by examining the different types of quadratic functions and their possible intersections. They then use algebraic methods to solve systems containing various...

So many methods and so little time! The efficient method of graphing a linear equation depends on what information the problem gives. Pupils learn three different methods of graphing linear equations. They graph equations using...

Pre-Calculus has some detailed formulas involved and here is a great resource that lumps then all together for you. Broken up into rectangular, polar, and parametric sections, the conics all include formulas and graphs. 

Derivatives are useful for many things — they can even keep track of particle motion. An informative lesson plan provides an introduction to the idea of the second derivative in particle motion. Class members determine the...

A detailed explanation of how to find a quadratic equation from its graph using different methods, including using software.

This resource provides an examination of parabolas, both vertical and horizontal, and parabolic functions. It includes six examples and a chart showing how changes in the equation coincide with changes in the graph.

A brief overview on calculating various measures of segments, like focus to vertex and vertex to directix, is given. Additionally, equations of parabolas in general, standard, and vertex forms are listed.

Defines parabolas, their properties, gives parametric equations, tangent line in a point D of a parabola, etc.

Good study tutorial about parabolas. There are examples of finding the equation of the parabola or the focal point and directrix that students can examine and attempt.

Gives brief description and standard equations for the four conic sections. Includes pictures, examples, and practice problems.

Resource provides an introduction to conics. A picture of each conic, the definition, and a brief discussion about the standard form of conic equations are given, along with encouragement to master conics.

Introduces the basics of conics in algebra, including a flow-chart for determining which sort of conic is represented by a given equation.

The most basic quadratic is y = x2. The general technique for graphing quadratics is the same as for graphing linear equations. The quadratics graph as curvy lines (called "parabolas"), rather than the straight lines generated by linear...

Examples of conic sections are given and the equation for their standard form is also given.

Provides the locus of points, dominant axis and equation, discriminant, center, vertex, focus, directrix, and asymptotes for the parabola, the ellipse, and the hyperbola.
