ELLIPSE EQUATIONS – PRE-CALCULUS CONICS
ACTIVITY OVERVIEW:
Master ellipse equations through interactive learning. Students identify major/minor axes, foci, and vertices while writing and graphing ellipse equations in standard form.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
• Write equations of ellipses in standard form
• Identify ellipse components (foci, vertices, axes)
• Graph ellipses on coordinate planes
STANDARDS ALIGNMENT:
• TX TEKS Pre-Calculus P.3.H – Identify and apply the equations of ellipses
SKILLS DEVELOPED:
Conic Sections, Algebraic Skills, Graphing, Mathematical Reasoning
GRADE LEVELS: 10th-12th Grade (Algebra II, Pre-Calculus)
ACTIVITY TYPE: Drag and Drop
