This resource gives a quick break down of how to find the vertex, focus, directrix, orientation of parabolas. Students will also be able to graph the conic. 

The video of coning and quartering created, explains the entire process of coning and quartering with voice-over

Mathematics instructors at Scottsdale Community College in Scottsdale, Arizona originally created this workbook. Faculty from Housatonic Community College and Middlesex Community College collaborated and edited the book to fit Connecticut’s Intermediate Algebra outcomes. The included content is designed to lead students through Intermediate Algebra, from a functions modeling approach, and to develop a deep understanding of the concepts associated with functions,
data and change. The included curriculum is broken into eleven lessons. Each lesson includes the following components:

MINI-LESSON
• The Mini-Lesson is the main instructional component for each lesson.
• Ideas are introduced with practical applications.
• Worked Examples are provided for each topic in the Mini-Lesson. Read through these examples carefully. Use these as a guide for completing similar problems.
• Media Examples can be worked by watching online videos and taking notes/writing down the problem as written by the instructor. Video links can be found within the MyOpenMath (MOM) Online Homework Assessment System.
• You-Try problems help reinforce Lesson concepts and should be worked in the order they appear showing as much work as possible.

This is a document to show students how to use coordinating conjunctions, subordinating conjunctions and sentence transitions for high-intermediate and advanced level ESL students. This is a supplemental resouce for grammar and composition classes. The aim of this worksheet is to show students how to combine sentences as well as understand the rules of punctuation. The examples in the table at the top of page 1 demonstrate the correct use of punctuation. Each column in the table below the error correction exercises on page 1 follow the same punctuation rules as the ones in the table at the top of the document. Pages 2-3 allow students to practice combining sentences with a variety of connectors in relation to the book The Little Prince. Learning Objectives:Use transitions and other signal words to achieve coherence and clarity within the structure of the essay.Demonstrate sentence variety and grammatical accuracy at a high-intermediate/low-advanced level.

Introductory exploration of GIS as a conservation biology tool. This activity was designed as a one time use of GIS to support Conservation Biology (taught by another professor) a senior level elective biology course.

This exercise is meant to help Spanish 2 and 3 students and their teachers to remember and review affirmative and negative constructions in Spanish, including the so-called "double negatives". 

Constructing a ParagraphChoose ONE prompt from the list below to be the topic of a paragraph you will write over the course of this assignment.  In each step, you will complete one or two steps in the writing process until you have written a complete and polished paragraph. Choose ONE of the following prompts:1. An Ideal Friend: What qualities make someone a good friend? Think of past experiences with friends, both good and bad, and discuss the qualities of an ideal friend.2. An Admirable Person: We all have people we admire. They might be family members or friends. They might be singers, dancers, or actors. They might even be fictional characters. Whom do you admire most and why?

An interactive powerpoint presentation walks students step-by-step through the process of generating a Korjinski diagram for the system K20-Al2O3-SiO2. Students will use the triangular diagram from the previous exercise to determine which minerals have stability boundaries on the diagram. A second tutorial explains how to plot a natural water composition on the diagram. A Word document provides the thermodynamic data and instructions necessary to create their own diagram for the Ca0-MgO-SiO2 system. An answer key is also provided.

Students will:
- Calculate mineral compositions in mole percent and plot on a triangular diagram.
- Determine which is the stable mineral at the apices.
- Draw in all possible tie-lines connecting coexisting minerals.
- Eliminate unstable collinear phases.
- Eliminate crossing tie-lines.
- Determine stable mineral assemblages for bulk-rock compositions provided.

It is a CLE presentation on the flight simulations. It includes a comparison between an example of an objectivist learning environment and a CLE on flight simulation

The CLE presentation presents theoretical principles and instructional characteristics of Constructivist Learning Environments (CLEs), contrast these to the theoretical principles and instructional characteristics of Objectivist Learning Environments (OLEs), share an example of a CLE that is technology supported , and critique the extent to which the selected CLE example embodies the principles of constructivism.
