Center for Technology and Teacher Education: Parabola Lesson Plan

Curated by ACT

This site is a lesson plan on construction of a parabola using the definition. Geometer's Sketch Pad software is beneficial for the lesson. Through the lesson students develop gemetric constructions of parabolas, use the distance formula to derive the standard form of a quadratic function, and prove that the distance from the directrix to the parabola is the same distance as the focal point to the parabola.
