Is it permissible for a woman to pray with a slightly audible voice with the intention of teaching her daughter and having her listen, knowing that she is praying beside her?

It is not prescribed for a woman to recite aloud in a place where quiet recitation is legislated, whether for the purpose of teaching or otherwise. However, in a place where loud recitation is legislated, she may recite aloud with the intention of fulfilling the obligatory prayer and its Sunan, coupled with the intention of teaching her daughter. This is because jurists have permitted a worshiper to recite something with the intention of recitation and of making another understand, as long as the primary intention is recitation and not merely informing.
