Construction of Parabola (Product Code: SLE/MAT/79) is a plastic triangular plate used to construct a parabola from straight lines of rubber band in senior-secondary maths lessons on conic sections. Teachers and students use it because its equally marked slots — 24 on each side of a 19 cm x 20 cm plate — turn an abstract curve into a hands-on build. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

The plate shows that a curve can be built entirely from straight lines. Pupils stretch a rubber band from the first slot on one side to the last slot on the other, then from the second slot to the second-last, and continue along the slots. Each band touches the curve as a tangent, and together the bands outline a smooth parabola — the method known as curve stitching, or the envelope of lines.
Students of conic sections can then compare the stitched curve with the focus-and-directrix definition of a parabola, identify its axis of symmetry and discuss why parabolic shapes appear in reflectors and arches. Because the plate is reusable, the construction can be repeated quickly for teacher demonstrations or small-group practicals in a school maths lab.
Construction of Parabola is made by ScienceLab (Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited), which is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this maths demonstration plate. It is produced at the company’s own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, so senior-secondary schools, colleges, dealers and importers buy from the maker itself. Extra plates and repeat orders are handled by the manufacturer — ask us. More is on the ScienceLab profile.

How does the Construction of Parabola plate form a parabola?
The Construction of Parabola plate (SLE/MAT/79) has equally marked slots along its sides. Rubber bands joined between matching slots on two sides form straight lines that together outline a parabola, showing how a curve emerges as the envelope of straight lines.
What size is the Construction of Parabola plate, and how many slots does it have?
The Construction of Parabola plate measures 19 cm x 20 cm and has 24 equally marked slots on each side. It is a plastic triangular plate, compact enough for a desk while giving a clearly visible curve for group work.
Are rubber bands supplied with Construction of Parabola?
The product description of Construction of Parabola explains that rubber bands join the slots, but it does not say whether bands are packed with the plate. Ask us through the contact page and we will confirm exactly what the quotation includes.
Which classes use Construction of Parabola?
Construction of Parabola suits senior-secondary students studying conic sections and coordinate geometry, and it also makes an engaging enrichment activity for middle-school maths clubs. Teachers use it for demonstrations as well as hands-on group practicals.
