Parabolas
I can identify the of a parabola:
 * focus
 * directrix
 * axis of symmetry

I can sketch the graph of a parabola and label its parts.

I can write the equation of a parabola given the:
 * focus and directrix
 * vertex and focus
 * vertex and directrix

Circles
I can identify the of a circle:
 * center
 * radius

I can sketch the graph of a circle and label its parts.

I can write the equation of a circle given the:
 * center and radius
 * center and a point on the circle
 * radius and a point on the circle

Ellipses
I can identify the of an ellipse:
 * center
 * major axis
 * minor axis
 * vertices
 * co-vertices
 * foci

I can sketch the graph of an ellipse and label its parts.

Hyperbolas
I can identify the of a hyperbola:
 * center
 * transverse axis
 * vertices
 * foci
 * asymptotes

I can sketch the graph of a hyperbola and label its parts.

**Identifying Conic Sections**

I can use the discriminant to classify conic sections whose equations are not in standard form.
