180- Direct Variation Is Not a Slippery Slope

Friday, November 8, 2013: 11:00 AM-12:00 PM
Cascade Ballroom A (Kentucky International Convention Center)
Lead Speaker:
Laurie Boswell

I will present a series of carefully designed activities that help students make sense of slope as a constant rate of change. We'll connect slope and direct variation using the context of skate ramps, TV screens, and protein shakes. We'll also discuss inverse variation.
