Parametric Projectile Motion
Learners relate projectile motion to parametric equations as they identify the velocity and angle of a projectile. They create a picture on the navigator to visualize the word problem.
Curated OER
Parametric Races & Slopes
Learners investigate the slopes and parametric equations. In this calculus lesson, young scholars solve parametric equations with specific parameters. They relate lines and slopes based on the derivative of the equation.
