This document provides instructions for a programming project involving graphing conic sections on a graphing calculator to create an original artwork or design. Students must:
1) Sketch an original drawing with at least 10 conic section graphs, including a circle, ellipse, parabola, lines, and absolute value graph.
2) Create a table labeling each graph with its type and equation.
3) Write a program to graph the design on the calculator.
The project aims to teach conic sections through creative programming. Sample programs and common student issues are discussed.
