Inverse Variation Models: Speedometer for Inverse Variation Models

Connect math with science! Pupils apply properties of Ohms Law as they solve problems and identify the inverse relationship of a function. They analyze the shape of the graph of an inverse function and use it to make predictions.

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...

Explore logarithms and logarithmic regression. Young mathematicians first learn about inverse functions and about the logarithm function family. They take their newfound knowledge to use logarithmic functions to model situations and...

Many organizations put on barbecues in order to make money. In a real-world math problem, the money allotted to purchase steak and chicken at this barbecue is only one hundred dollars. It is up to your potential chefs to figure out how...

Help your pupils find a pattern of direct variation. Young scholars use input-output pairs to find a constant of variation and then write the equation. As they build their equations, the interactive lesson provides feedback.

Explore a geometric sequence model through a simulation. Learners change the starting drop height of a ball and watch how the heights of following bounces change. They consider the ratio of the consecutive bounces as they analyze...

Learning to express real-life situations as mathematical functions (models) allows seemingly complex ideas and actions to be broken down into smaller, simpler parts and analyzed. In this section are three types of of those models:...

Here's a resource that models rising water levels with a linear function. The task contains three parts about the level of water in a cylinder in relationship to the number of golf balls placed in it. Class members analyze the data and...

This task asks students to analyze a set of data about the height of a basketball for each time it bounces. They choose a model that reasonably fits the data and use the model to answer questions about the physical context. This variant...

This task asks students to analyze a set of data about the height of a basketball for each time it bounces. They choose a model that reasonably fits the data and use the model to answer questions about the physical context. This second...
