Exploring Conic Sections with The Geometer's Sketchpad
Daniel Scher
Key Curriculum Press
Few topics connect with as many branches of mathematics as conic sections. In this rich collection of activities, students build their own physical models of conic sections and then construct more flexible models with Sketchpad. And by developing both geometric and analytic proofs, students connect these mathematical realms in ways essential to any second-year algebra, precalculus, or analytic geometry course.<p><span>The sketches referenced in the book can be downloaded from&nbsp;https://sketchpad.keycurriculum.com/KeyModules/index.html.</span><br></p></br>
