Algebra 1: Linear Inequalities

January 28-February 15, 2013

|Stage 1 – Desired Results |

|Content Standard(s): |

| |

|(A.7) Linear functions. The student formulates equations and inequalities based on linear functions, uses a variety of methods to solve them, and |

|analyzes the solutions in terms of the situation. The student is expected to |

| |

|(A) analyze situations involving linear functions and formulate linear equations or inequalities to solve problems; Supporting Standard |

|(B) investigate methods for solving linear equations and inequalities using [concrete] models, graphs, and the properties of equality, select a |

|method, and solve the equations and inequalities; and Readiness Standard |

|(C) interpret and determine the reasonableness of solutions to linear equations and inequalities. Supporting Standard |

|Understanding (s)/goals |Essential Question(s): |

|Students will understand : |What’s the definition of inequality? |

|Specific vocabulary for each inequality symbol. |Where have you used or seen inequalities? |

|The meaning of a solution as it pertains to inequalities. |Compare and contrast solutions to inequalities and equations. |

|Steps to solving equations and how that applies to solving inequalities. |What do you notice when you multiply or divide by a negative? |

|How a graph represents the solution. |Why do some inequalities have an open point and others a closed point? |

|The difference between the graph of a linear equation and the graph of a |Why do some linear inequalities have a solid line and other a broken |

|linear inequality. |line? |

| |What is the purpose of the shaded area? |

| |What are the similarities and differences between graphing linear |

| |inequalities and linear equations? |
