  1. CONICS ARTWORK! Programming Conics Artwork on the Graphing Calculator to successfully TEACH the Conic Sections!! Emily Gockerman egockerman@ursulineacademy.org Ursuline Academy Cincinnati, OH

  2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION • Hand out right after beginning unit! • Students work on project throughout unit and find equations of each type of conic section as topic is learned

  3. Some of the Project Requirements • Create a drawing/design on graph paper (cartoon character, sports object or mascot, design or a scene—BE CREATIVE!!). It should include (at least) the following 12 graphs (or pieces of graphs in your creation: • a.2 circles • b.2 horizontal or vertical ellipses (or 1 of each) • c.1 horizontal parabola • d.1 vertical parabola • e.1 horizontal or vertical hyperbola • f.2 lines • g.1 absolute value graph • h. any 2 more conic equations of your choice

  4. More Project Requirements • Create a table with four vertical columns titled as indicated and fill in the information for each numbered graph of your sketch. • Then… Just WRITE THE PROGRAM!! 

  5. Students Turn In: • Initialed Drawing/Sketch • Neat copy of the table • Colored Final-Printed out Design

  6. Grading Rubric: Drawing (must be initialed) 15 Equations (must be initialed) 40 Program 20 Final Design 15 (colored and glued to construction paper) Creativity and Neatness 10__ TOTAL 100

  7. Some Examples of Projects! • Begin with a sketch…. • Create something AMAZING!! 

  8. Problems Students May Encounter • Solving Equations For “Calculator” or “y = ‘s” form can be tricky • Finding equations of parabolas & hyperbolas • Using Restrictions • Making small errors when typing in program & finding those errors!

  9. Finding the equation of a hyperbola going through a specific point:

  10. Finding the equation of a parabola going through a specific point:

  11. Sample Program

  12. Printing Picture Using TI-Connect • Download TI Connect from TI website: • Click on Downloads, then Computer Software, then TI Connect ORuse link below: http://education.ti.com/educationportal/sites/US/productDetail/us_ti_connect.html • Connect students’ calculators using silver linking cord, and do a screen capture, then enlarge & print!
