Conics
Carom Maths provides this resource for teachers and students of A Level mathematics.
This presentation introduces the Conics and provides a Geogebra file for students to explore how, by changing the eccentricity of a curve, the locus of a point is altered. They are also challenged to vary the constants of an equation to see how many curves they can make.
This activity is designed to explore aspects of the subject which may not normally be encountered, to encourage new ways to approach a problem mathematically and to broaden the range of tools that an A Level mathematician can call upon.
