Inverse Variation

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Inverse Variation lesson plan also includes:
  • Inverse Variation (doc)
  • Activity
  • Join to access all included materials

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 model the relationship.
