| Mar 13 at 13:51 | comment | added | Daniel R. Collins | Okay, and by background I meant, what teaching qualification do you have? Do you have a math or related degree? | |
| Mar 13 at 7:20 | comment | added | Nate | @Daniel R. Collins This is my first time teaching this material. | |
| Mar 12 at 23:00 | comment | added | Daniel R. Collins | Can I ask what your background is, teaching high school math on this topic? It seems surprising to be "assuming the reason for doing this" and not know (either from training or textbook). | |

| Feb 24 at 2:00 | comment | added | TomKern | I don't think your distinction between parameters and variables is correct. Parameters are a type of variable being used in a particular way in a parametric equation. x, y, and z on the other hand, are coordinates. Unrelated, but you may find it helpful that Desmos can handle parameterization in its normal graphing calculator and in 3D: desmos.com/3d/2khdevwz2c | |
