"This applet allows the user to create graphs of conic sections. Using slider bars, one can manipulate the function to change the constant values and view the effects of those changes."

Given an equation, the student will use parameter changes to graph an ellipse and to identify the changes in the graph of an ellipse.

Given an equation, the student will use parameter changes to graph a hyperbola and to identify the changes in the graph of a hyperbola.

In this activity, students will plot the graphs of systems of equations and determine the number of real solutions of the system. Then find the solution of the system algebraically.

Students can investigate the graphs of conic sections in standard form. Cirlce, ellipse, and hyperbola graphs are included.

Given the graph of a circle or its features, practice finding its standard equation.

THis resource provides examples and information about Algebraic graphing.

This Learn Check file is a review of writing conic sections given the graph of a conic section. Students are asked to use the graphs to write the equations for a ellipse, circle, parabola, and hyperbola.

Given the graph of a circle or its features, find its standard equation. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

A solution to a student submitted problem is given. The problem involves systems of conic sections with inequalities.

Through a mixture of online exploration, and teacher instruction, students will discover how parabolas are formed and will be able to use the key components from a graph (vertex, focus and directrix,) to generate the equation of a graph.

This site provides descriptions and helpful hints regarding conic sections - circles, parabolas, ellipses, and hyperbolas. Content also includes interactive problem solvers complete with a full analysis of the math behind the answer.

WebMath offers a java applet that allows you to input information about an ellipse, in one of four forms, and gives you the graph of the ellipse.

Detailed math tutorial features notes and examples that take a look at the process of graphing hyperbolas.

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...

Through a mixture of online exploration, and teacher instruction, students will discover how Hyberbolas are formed and will be able to use the key components (center, vertices and the asymptotes) to generate the equation of a graph.

An overview of the four types of conic sections is presented. The origin of how each conic is formed and a table of various characteritics specific to each type of conic is shown.
