About the activity Using the geometry Trace Tool to explore topics in geometry and algebra, I am going to work on 3 tasks:

1. Geometry problem a. From a geometry problem the participants will discover the relationship between the geometric objects using the trace tool. They will make and test conjectures about any point that describes the trace. b. I will give some extensions of the problem using files from the web page.

2. Construction of Ellipses The participants will construct ellipses using the trace tool and the property that defines the ellipse.

3. Construction of Hyperbolas The participants will construct hyperbolas using the trace tool and the property that defines the hyperbola.
