Lesson Plan: Rotation of Conics
This lesson plan includes the objectives and prerequisites of the lesson teaching students how to write the standard form of the equations of conic sections with rotated axes that are no longer parallel to the coordinate axes.
Objectives
Students will be able to
- rotate conics by a change of coordinates,
- interpret these rotations graphically.
Prerequisites
Students should already be familiar with
- conics,
- rotations,
- change of variables.
