Linear and Inverse Variation

Hello folks... My name is Jose Fernandez (I'm the Principal of a Middle School at USA) and I would like you to talk about the Linear Equations. My goal is to make sure the teachers would be able to teach the students this unit, by the way is a new unit we never taught our students in this school. My audiences are my teachers and my students that are going to learn this new unit.

My situation is that the owner of the school asked me (the Head of Middle School) to introduce this new Math unit because the school's level of Math in the student curriculum have been really low for the respective grades. My students are going to create a brochure explaining the different concepts on the new unit. They are going to create symbolic and word problems from this new unit, and last but not least they are going to make a project that proves in concrete examples their knowledge about the unit and applied them in any computer program they want.

The basic standards the students will use would be Microsoft Word and Macromedia Free Hand to create the word and symbol problems. The Microsoft Publisher is going to be used in the brochure with all the concepts learned on the unit. The final product would be a student choice between programs, in which they will apply their knowledge on concrete examples including a presentation. That would be the final project, thanks for seeing it and enjoy this blog!
