About This Product
Conic sections are often met first as equations, which leaves many students unsure where the curves come from. Handling these wooden models lets a class see each curve as the edge of a cut through a cone before moving on to focus, directrix and eccentricity. Teachers can also use the set to open a discussion on where these shapes appear in real life.
