Parabola
A parabola is a symmetrical open plane curve formed by the intersection of a cone with a plane parallel to its side. The path of a projectile under the influence of gravity ideally follows a curve of this shape. The first student to explain why I might have named our class blog Parabola will earn extra credit.
you called the blog parabola because if someone is looking for an answer on the blog and they didn’t find it and they go to your desk and ask where it is you will tell them to look harder and go back to their desk. Which flows like a parabola.
Good attempt Max, but not quite. You can try again if you would like.
You called the blog a parabola because the main page tells us what we did in class, but there are more choices to pick to find what we are looking for if we don’t find it on the main page. So there is more choices than one just like a parabola.
Very good attempt Ben. Your reasoning is sound, but that is not correct. Thanks for making an attempt.
You might’ve called the blog parabola because you want to make a curve in the way you affect people when you teach.
Hallie, thanks for making an attempt. I do hope that my teaching does have some effect on students, but that is not the reason I named the blog, Parabola.
You named the blog parabola because there are options throughout the blog that make you think of new thoughts or meanings of a writing or picture that maybe nobody else would think of. A person can have infinity ideas about something.
You are getting closer Ben. Keep thinking about it.
You named the blog parabola because there are many ways that make you think of new ideas that nobody could come up with and others come up with new ideas off of your ideas, but all the ideas go down to one thing, the outline of what you were thinking about.
