Abstract
In the article Of Paper-folding, Geogebra and Conics which appeared in
the Tech Space section of the July 2015 issue we had discussed the
method of generating a parabola, �irstly through paper-folding and then
on Geogebra, a dynamic geometry software. Both methods helped us to
understand and explore the various properties of a parabola. In this
article we shall describe the construction of the ellipse and the hyperbola
using a similar strategy of paper-folding followed by a Geogebra
exploration. The reader may consider the previous article as a
pre-requisite to this one
