Conic Section

This lesson plan aims to teach students about conic sections. The objective is for students to be able to illustrate and identify circles, parabolas, ellipses, hyperbolas, and degenerate cases. During the lesson, students will participate in an activity where they observe and analyze shapes produced by slicing a 3D cone. They will then learn that these shapes are called conic sections. Examples of conic sections in real life will be discussed. For assessment, students will identify conic sections in pictures. For an assignment, students will research applications of each conic section and present their findings in a scrapbook.

A LESSON PLAN IN PRE-CALCULUS

By: Gina R. Miano


June 20, 2016

I. Objective

At the end of the session, the students must be able to illustrate the different types
of conic sections: circle, parabola, ellipse, hyperbola, and degenerate cases .

II. Subject Matter

a. Topic: Conic Sections (STEM_PC11AG-Ia-1)

b. Reference: PreCalculus by DIWA, Microsoft Encarta Premium 2009

c. Materials: PowerPoint Slides, manila paper, marker

d. Values: team work, accuracy, and perseverance

III. Procedure

a. Classroom Routine
1. Prayer
2. Attendance
3. Assignment (collecting and checking)
4. Review
What is a cone?
5. Motivation
Imagine this half-cut carrot is a cone. If I slice it horizontally, what shape do I
produce?

b. Lesson Proper
1. Activity
(by group)
Group
From the given
Activity
illustration, what
are your Group 1
observations?
(15 mins.)

Group 2 Group 3 Group 4 Group 5


2. Analysis
-How did you find the activity?
-What are your observation/s for each given illustration?
-What are the different shapes/figures that are produced when you slice up a
hollow three-dimensional cone ?
-What do you call these shapes/figures that are produced by slicing up a hollow
three-dimensional cone?

3. Abstraction
( through PowerPoint presentation)
The conic sections of geometry are the two-dimensional curves produced by
slicing up a hollow three-dimensional cone. A vertical slice produces a hyperbola (far
left). A horizontal slice produces a circle (top). Slicing the cone at an angle can produce
a parabola (second from the left) or an ellipse (third from the left) depending on the
angle of the cut.
Passing the plane through the conical surface in certain specific ways produces
degenerate conics, which include a point, a line, a pair of parallel lines, and a pair of
intersecting lines. If the surface is cut at the point where the two cones meet by a
plane perpendicular to the axis, for example, a point is produced.

4. Application
What are the things around us which resemble the conic sections?
IV. Assessment
What kind of conic sections does each picture illustrate?

V. Assignment
(A project to be submitted on or before July 14)

1. Research on the Internet the practical applications of conic sections in real life(
at least three per conic section).
2. Present each application with an illustration and a brief discussion on how the
concept of each conic is utilized. The illustration may be cutouts, drawn, or
computer generated.
3. Use sheets of short bond paper for your output and make a scrap book. Provide
a title to your own work
