Inequalities
Reporting Category Equations and Inequalities
Topic Relating the graphing of a line to solving an inequality in one variable
Primary SOL A.5a The student will solve multistep linear inequalities in two variables, including solving multistep linear inequalities algebraically and graphically.
Related SOL A.4
Materials
• Solving Inequalities Puzzle (attached)
• Scissors
• Glue
• Sheets of blank paper
• Solving Inequalities in One and Two Variables activity sheet (attached)
• Graphing calculators
Vocabulary
open point, closed point (earlier grades)
dashed line, boundary, solid line (A.5a)
Student/Teacher Actions (what students and teachers should be doing to facilitate learning)
1. Review solving inequalities in one variable (SOL 7.15 and 8.15).
2. Distribute scissors and copies of the Solving Inequalities Puzzle that show the puzzle pieces cut out and glued in random arrangement on a blank sheet of paper. Have students cut out the pieces and work the puzzle by solving the multistep linear inequalities algebraically and arranging the pieces accordingly.
3. Review graphing the solution set of an inequality in one variable on a number line.
4. Compare the open and closed points used in graphing the solution of an inequality in one variable to the dashed and solid boundary lines used in graphing the solution to an inequality in two variables.
5. Compare shading the coordinate plane for an inequality in two variables to shading the number line for an inequality in one variable.
6. Distribute copies of the Solving Inequalities in One and Two Variables activity sheet, and have students complete it.
Assessment
• Questions
o How is solving an inequality different from solving an equation?
o In solving a linear inequality, why is it necessary to shade part of the coordinate plane?
• Journal/Writing Prompts
o Describe a real-world situation in which solving an inequality would be necessary.
o Compare and contrast graphing an inequality in one variable to graphing an inequality in two variables.
o Describe a way to self-assess the correctness of your graphs.
Strategies for Differentiation
• Allow students to use calculators to make simple calculations and compare findings.
• Have students use a talking calculator or a calculator with large keys and/or display.
• Demonstrate steps and procedures on an overhead calculator.
• Demonstrate key information on an overhead projector.
• Color-code the steps in an inequality.
• Have students create a chart that compares and contrasts graphing an inequality in one variable with graphing an inequality in two variables.
• To help concrete learners, use graph paper to keep the information linear.
• Enlarge the copies of the pieces of the Solving Inequalities Puzzle to make the problems more distinct.
Solving Inequalities Puzzle
Directions:
• Below is the solution to the puzzle.
• Copy and cut the pieces apart on the solid lines.
• Students should match the inequalities by placing them adjacent to each other.
• Have students complete it individually or in small groups. They should get the heart shown below.
