− | # Children develop an appreciation of a circle as a conic section. | + | # Conic Sections are figures that can be formed by slicing a three dimensional right circular cone with a plane. |
| + | # There are different ways to do this, and each way yields a different figure. |
| + | # These figures can be represented on the graph as well as algebraically. |
| + | # The four conic sections are circles, ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas. |
