Inverse Variation Teacher Resources

In this overview video of direct and inverse variation, Sal shows the general form of each equation and its differences. The listener gains an intuitive understanding of the differences by highlighting how the x and y values vary with...

Sometimes, it is not always obvious which equations are direct variations and which are inverse variations. In this video, five different equations are considered. Each is manipulated and rewritten to determine whether there is a direct...

Inverse, reverse, indirect, what? Indirect variation, indirect proportion, constant of variation, inverse proportion, inverse variation, oh my!! Just watch the video and the instructor will explain these things rather straightforward.

Enhance pupil understanding of proportions and variable relationships by studying direct and inverse variation. Use the idea of a proportional relationship to teach direct variation. Then use a similar pattern to help individuals...

Apply rational functions to a problem-solving situation through inverse variation. The video tutorial explains the concept of inverse variation and introduces learners to the formula. The instructor explains how to solve problems that...

The instructor explains the product rule of inverse variation using the transitive property of equality.

The instructor explains the product rule of inverse variation using the transitive property of equality.

Don't panic! There is a pretty simple straightforward formula to solve this problem. Some of the words are a bit overwhelming: indirect variation, inverse, constant of variation, indirect proportionality. But one simple formula and just...

Discover an inverse variation pattern. A simple lesson plan design allows learners to explore a nonlinear pattern. Scholars analyze a distance, speed, and time relationship through tables and graphs. Eventually, they write an equation to...

Provide learners with a instructional activity that provides problems that focuses on direct and inverse variations, proportional relationships, graphing, and word problems. The goal is to find the outcome and decide what type of...

Here is a quick guide to direct, joint, and inverse variation used in realistic situations. Each topic has a page of notes and examples followed by practice problems. The resource explains each type of variation and provides their...

Model inverse variation while solving a real-world problem. Young scholars use the interactive lesson to discover the pattern of inverse variation data. They then use that discovery to write and analyze an equation.

Students identify inverse variations. In this inverse variation instructional activity, students explore graphs and identify the inverse variation. They write equations for the inverse variation. Students compare and contrast the...

Find the best deal on music. Small groups create playlists of music and determine the cost based on different pricing structures. They determine whether the pricing structure represents a direct or inverse variation relationship by...

In this inverse variation worksheet, students solve twelve inverse variation problems.  Five of these problems are multiple choice and seven are free-response problems.  this worksheet is designed are preparation for the Math Regents Exam.

In this direct and inverse variation worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 16 different problems. First, they solve each problem assuming that y varies directly as x. Then, students solve the next set of problems that y varies...

In this variation instructional activity, students solve 9 short answer problems. Students use inverse variation to find missing values given an algebra sentence or two ordered pairs.

Learners study operations with real numbers using mental computation or paper-and-pencil calculations. They judge the reasonableness of numerical computations and their results. They set up and solve proportions for direct and inverse...

In this direct and inverse variation worksheet, 9th graders solve 10 different problems that include various situations in variations. First, they find the constant of proportionality when given each variable measure. Then, students...

Indirect variation, indirect proportionality, inverse proportionality, constant of variation, inverse of variation. What's all this mean? How are they related? What are these terms used for? A simple explanation: if one variable...

For this variation worksheet, students solve 26 variation problems. Students determine the missing variable by using joint, direct, or inverse variation.

In this direct and indirect variation instructional activity, students solve 4 direct variations. Students then solve 4 indirect variations.

Eighth graders participate in two data collection activities that involve direct and inverse variation. In the pre-assessment, 8th graders categorize numerical, graphical, and verbal representations as linear or nonlinear and determine...
