Geogebra Applet
Algebra 2
Conic Section
Grades 10-11
Objectives:
• Students will explore how the radius and the center of the circle affect the equation of a circle.
• Students will be able to write an equation of a circle by looking at a picture of a graph
Description:
This Geogebra applet lets students explore the components of the equation of a circle. They will be guided through tasks that have students move the sliders corresponding to the radius and the h and k values of the center of the circle. Students will be able to see how to create an equation of a circle by looking at a graph of the circle.
