Unit 8: Conic Sections Time Frame: Focus lessons May 2 to May 18, 2012 Unit Description This unit focuses on the analysis and synthesis of graphs and equations of conic sections and their real-world applications. Student Understandings The study of conics helps students relate the cross- curriculum concepts of art and architecture to math. They define parabolas, circles, ellipses, and hyperbolas in terms of the distance of points from the foci and describe the relationship of the plane and the double- napped cone that forms each conic. Students identify various conic sections in real- life examples and in symbolic equations. Students solve systems of conic and linear equations with and without technology. 10 th 16 Represent and solve problems involving distance on a number line or in the plane (G-3-H) Midpoint and distance Can students use the distance formula to define and generate the equation of each conic? Sect. 8.1 Midpoint and Distance Formulas 15 Identify conic sections, including the degenerate conics, and describe the relationship of the plane and double-napped cone that forms each conic (G-1-H) Also 5, 6, 9, 16, 24, 27, 28 Write equations and identify equations Can students transform the standard form of the equations of parabolas, circles, ellipses, and hyperbolas to graphing form? Can students identify the major parts of each of the conics from their graphing equations and can they graph the conics? Can students formulate the equations of each of these conics from their graphs? Can students find real-life examples of these conics, determine their equations, and use the equations to solve real-life problems? Can students identify these conics given their stand and graphing equations? Can the students predict how the graphs will be transformed when certain parameters are changed?
