Line Drawing Parabolic Curves
Parabolic curves are not really curves at all but just a series of lines starting at the endpoint of an angle to one dot over from the vertex of the angle; the next line follows towards the vertex of the angle until it completes the "representation" of a curve.
It is much easier to follow the instructions on the attached pdf. I made it relatively easy by providing letters so the students could follow from A to A, B to B and so on.
The pdf has many types of designs such as a right angle, acute angle, obtuse angle, squares with diagonals, hexagons, pentagons, and circles.
The other pdf called answer key shows some of these designs. I hope you enjoy trying to create these line-generated curves.
The secret to better curves it to space out the lines closer together.
