In this hyperbola learning exercise, 10th graders solve and complete 6 different problems. First, they determine the cross-section of a hyperbolic paraboloid curve. Then, students find where the cone intersects the ground in hyperbola as...

Graphing conics made easy. Individuals use an interactive to graph conic sections. The app can handle circles, vertical and horizontal parabolas, ellipses, and vertical and horizontal hyperbolas.

Math scholars study conics and how they are used today. In this mathematical instructional activity, pupils construct and slice cones after viewing a demonstration. 

High schoolers analyze characteristics and properties of two and three-dimensional shapes in this geometry instructional activity. They follow detailed directions to use the Cabri Geometry II Application on their TI-89 calculator to...

Graphing paper, pencil, ruler, protractor, and compass, all get replaced or supplemented with this dynamic geometry application. Here, you can create, move, and scale many different shapes, as well as, explore and change their properties...

Young scholars define and identify planetary orbit, ellipse, parabola, and hyperbola, and simulate Kepler's Second Law. They explore interactive websites demonstrating orbital motion and complete modeling activities.

Move on into trigonometry. An informative eBook takes the content of a College Algebra course and adds more relating to trigonometry and trigonometric functions. The content organization allows pupils to build upon their learning by...

Students investigate the reflective properties of the parabola, the ellipse, and the hyperbola. They will look at applications that relate to both the collection of incoming signals and signals that are emitted from a source and...

Wondering who uses conics and where they occur in our lives? Dr. Math provides some answers to how math concepts involving conic sections, perabolas, hyperbolas, and ellipses are applied practically.
