Unit 6
Geometric Parabola, Circles, Intersecting conics, Geometric Proofs
This Month:
This month we will start Unit 6 Modeling Geometry. This will be a 4-6 week unit. Some of the unit we will start at the end of Feb. and will continue until the beginning of April.
This unit investigates coordinate geometry. Students look at equations for circles and parabolas and use given information to derive equations for representations of these figures on a coordinate plane. Students also use coordinates to prove simple geometric theorems using the properties of distance, slope, and midpoints. Students will verify whether a figure is a special quadrilateral by showing that sides of figures are parallel or perpendicular. KEY STANDARDS Solve systems of equations MCC9-12.A.REI.7 Solve a simple system consisting of a linear equation and a quadratic equation in two variables algebraically and graphically. Translate between the geometric description and the equation for a conic section MCC9-12.G.GPE.1 Derive the equation of a circle of given center and radius using the Pythagorean Theorem; complete the square to find the center and radius of a circle given by an equation. MCC9-12.G.GPE.2 Derive the equation of a parabola given a focus and directrix. Use coordinates to prove simple geometric theorems algebraically MCC9-12.G.GPE.4 Use coordinates to prove simple geometric theorems algebraically. For example, prove or disprove that a figure defined by four given points in the coordinate plane is a rectangle; prove or disprove that the point (1, √3) lies on the circle centered at the origin and containing the point (0, 2). (Restrict to context of circles and parabolas.)
