This resource provides students with a comprehensive introduction to parametric equations. It includes a PowerPoint presentation with clear explanations and two examples of drawing graphs in parametric form.

In addition to the PowerPoint, this resource includes a worksheet that guides students through an investigation of a number of equations using technology. The worksheet is designed to help students apply the knowledge they gained from the PowerPoint presentation to solve problems in a practical context. The questions are challenging and require students to use various tools, including graphing calculators and software, to explore the graphs of the given equations in parametric form.
Furthermore, the resource offers worked solutions to all the questions in the worksheet, enabling students to check their answers and understand the solution process in detail. The solutions provide step-by-step explanations of how to solve the problems using technology, making it easier for students to grasp the concepts involved.
