Conics Project

Here is your chance to be creative…. design a drawing on graph paper (cartoon character, sports object or mascot, design or a scene… Be Creative!!) This will count as two test grades and is due on ______. The picture should use various conics as outlined in the rubrics and have at least 2 lines. Your grade will be based on the scoring below:

Project components Max pts. Student pts. Drawing sketch (labeled and initialed) 20 pts. Equations (5 pts each) 50 pts. 2 circles 2 horizontal or vertical ellipses 1 vertical parabola 1 horizontal parabola 2 hyperbolas 2 lines Equations for other Linear or Conic 20 pts. features included with the picture Final Design Presentation 10 pts. (Colored, Mounted, Creative)

TOTAL SCORE ______

Other guidelines:

1. You must write your equations out on a separate sheet of paper by type (circle, ellipse, hyperbola, parabola, line). I should see the work you did to make the equation (especially with lines and parabolas). It should show the components of the individual conic as we learned in class (vertices, covertices, center, vertex, etc.).

2. Make two copies of your graph. The rough draft (blue print) must be numbered to correspond to the list of equations. Also the rough draft must have the x-axis and y-axis. The second copy will be your final draft that will be put on your mount. The second copy will NOT have the axes or be numbered. 3. Restrictions for the domains must be determined for each equation (circles and ellipses with restrict themselves). If these points are not integers, specify them to the nearest hundredth.

4. Make a list of any websites you used or were helpful to you while preparing this project. ______

Deadlines:

1. The rough draft with a minimum of 5 equations is due on ______

2. The final picture, all equations in proper form, the rough draft, list of equations (with restricted domains) mounted on poster board are due on: ______

3. Reflection Sheet Due ______
