Download files and build them with your 3D printer, laser cutter, or CNC. Thingiverse is a universe of things.

This lesson is designed for an algebra class that has a firm understanding of quadratic equations and how to graph them. Students will sketch a picture on graph paper by hand using only parabolas. They will then use an online graphing calculator to recreate their design in the computer. This design will then be printed out, scanned, and converted to a SVG file. The students will then use this SVG file and TinkerCAD to create a 3D model of their original 2D design.
