Create 1.1.2 Creating a Content Map

Before I am able to start planning lessons about what is coming up, I have to have a plan in mind.  I need to have some organization in mind as far as what order things need to be taught.  In math pretty much everything we teach is built upon something that has previously been taught.  All of those things need to be taken into consideration when creating a content map of what is to be learned.

I chose to do my content map on the topic of conic sections in the Analytic Geometry class.  I feel like the first thing the students need to learn how to do is graph the different conic sections (parabolas and circles in this class).  Once they know how to graph then they can work backwards to write the equations.  Then finally they can learn how to use completing the square to convert the equations from general form to standard form.  I created this content map based on those things.  It may look fairly simple, but these topcs are pretty intense!  I use bubbl.us to create this content map.
