Elaboration
- Sample questions to support inquiry with students:
- What can we construct using a straightedge and compass?
- What properties change and stay the same when we vary a square, parallelogram, triangle, and so on?
- How are circles, ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas related?
- Where are conics found in the world around us?
- How does nature exhibit fractal properties?
- What patterns do we see in fractals?
