Showcase of Teacher Project: Direct and Inverse Variation using PowerPoint

Each quarter we will be showcasing a teacher’s project completed during his/her participation in our program. By next fall we are planning to archive these lessons on our website for you to refer to throughout the year.

As part of the Certificate program teachers need to create what we call a StAIR or Stand Alone Instructional Resource. These resources can than be used in the classroom as a tool: 1)to help students that may be struggling with a particular concept; 2)to provide gifted and talented students with a means to learn higher level concepts; or 3)to provide a class of students a means to learn a particular concept at their own pace.

In this issue we are showcasing a StAIR on Direct and Inverse Variation created by Emily
Parker, Math and Science teacher at Novi High School in Novi, Michigan. Emily participated in the certificate program in 2006.

Emily created her StAIR to help her students understand the concept of Direct and Inverse Variation. The final product is done in PowerPoint. There are two worksheets that students can print out and complete for review.
