G11-MATH-GEO-M3 - Conic Sections and Algebraic Geometry

Conic Sections & Coordinate Relationships introduces students to the study of conic sections and their algebraic and geometric properties. Students explore circles, parabolas, ellipses, and hyperbolas through equations, graphs, and real-world applications while strengthening connections between algebra and geometry.

Throughout the module, students analyze the characteristics of each conic section, identify key features, interpret equations, and model geometric relationships on the coordinate plane. These concepts provide a foundation for advanced mathematics, physics, engineering, and computer science.

Grade Level: Grade 11

Duration: 7 Weeks

Focus:
Understanding conic sections through coordinate geometry. Students develop the ability to analyze, graph, and model circles, parabolas, ellipses, and hyperbolas while connecting algebraic equations with geometric representations.
