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.

Quadrilateral Logo Project — Classify and Prove Using Coordinates

Created by

MB Design & Creations

Engage your geometry students with a creative, standards-aligned project that blends art, algebra, and reasoning! In this Quadrilateral Logo Project, students design a logo for a fictional robot company called Quadro using geometric properties. They must create and classify quadrilaterals (parallelogram, trapezoid, rectangle, rhombus, and square), include vertex coordinates, and provide mathematical justification using slope and distance formulas. This real-world, discovery-style project reinfo
