Problem of the Month - Petting Zoo Geometry

Created by

Problem of the Month: Through fun, quirky, challenging word problems, students will apply their knowledge of perimeter and area to help set up a petting zoo. Students will tackle a series of problems with increasing difficulty. The level A problems involve calculating area and perimeter of common shapes, and the level E problems involve maximizing area of a compound figure with constraints. This is designed for middle schoolers - sixth graders will be able to engage with the problems, and even e

Elliptical Orbits Project (PBL) - Precalculus Conic Sections & Eccentricity

Created by

Megan Haynes

This engaging Project-Based Learning (PBL) activity brings conic sections to life by having students explore how ellipses model real-world orbits. Students select a planet, moon, comet, or satellite and use research to gather key data such as eccentricity and orbital measurements, then create a mathematical model using the equation of an ellipse. They will construct and label a diagram, analyze how eccentricity affects the shape of the orbit, and present their findings through a visual project.
