Hands-on teaching approaches make conics come to life. Using wax paper, Wikki Stix, cheese, thumbtacks, flashlights, and string, all students can investigate conics. This promotes conceptual understanding and connections between two and three dimensions. Technology and trigonometry will help us verify that we can generate the same curve in 2-D and 3-D.
