University of Georgia: Lessons on Parabolas

For Teachers 9th - 10th Standards
Nine lessons on parabolas are presented here. The lessons progress from the basics of parabolas (definition, algebraic representation of parabolas) to more advanced topics (ie. tangents to parabolas, parabolas in polar form).
