STM 111 Mini Midterm Performance Task

Conic Sections Part of a Whole


Your goal is to identify an application of a circle, parabola, and ellipse in a roller coaster ride by graphing a part
of a roller coaster ride wherein you think the conic sections (circles, parabola, and ellipse) can be applied and
identify its properties this includes the general and standard equation
Instructions:
A. Identify a part of a roller coaster ride where a circle, parabola, and ellipse can be applied.
B. Sketch and design the part of the roller coaster where a circle, parabola, and ellipse can be applied. Be
creative in designing each part that represents each conic section!
C. Provide the equation of each conic section and identify its significant properties by showing the solution in
determining its properties from the equation you provide. Be realistic in measurements!
Output presentation:
Write/Sketch your output on a graphing paper, one (1) graphing paper per conic section which means you are
expected to submit 3 designs. Feel free to utilize online graphing tools or software to aid in the graphing
process.
Criterion:
The output will be graded with the following criteria: Understanding of concepts, application creativity,
mathematical precision and accuracy, practicality, and presentation.
Important Note:
 This task is individual, you are expected to submit a draft of your design every after lesson. Submission
of draft dates:
August 10 & 11 – Circle draft
August 25 & 29 – Parabola draft
September 7 & 8 – Ellipse draft
 Final submission of output will be on or before September 11, 2023. Please compile your output and
make sure to write your name and section on the upper right corner of each graphing paper.
 Attach a one (1) copy of the scoring rubric on top of your graphing papers.
