Inequalities We are learning to…solve and represent inequalities on a number line. Thursday, June 5, 2014
Warm Up • Solve the • Create a drawing with Algebra Tiles • Record your steps carefully • Check your equation by using substitution • Raise your hand when you are done so that your teacher can check the solution.
Human Number Line Activity • By looking at the results of our “Human Number Line” determine some possible solutions to the following inequalities… • We need 11 volunteers!
Reflection • With your team evaluate the difference between “equations” and “inequalities.” Write some your ideas in the space provided.
Vocabulary • Inequality - A mathematical sentence stating that one quantity is greater than or less than an other. Symbols Used:
Critical Thinking • Could you ever name all of the possible solutions for the inequality ? Why or why not?
Demonstrate where to find the solutions to the inequality on the number line below: Name some values for x which would make this inequality true: Number Line: • 5 is not a solution…all of the solutions are greater than 5 but not equal to 5? • Since you cannot list all of the solutions to an inequality using a number line is way to visually see all of the solution to an inequality.
Demonstrate where to find the solutions to the inequality on the number line below: Name some values for x which would make this inequality true: Number Line: • -4 is a solution and should be included in the picture of the numbers in the solutions to the inequality.
Team Practice • With your team: • Think of 5 possible solutions for the given inequalities. • Evaluate if the boundary point is part of the solution or not a part of the solution. • If the point is part of the solution use a closed (filled in) circle. • If the point is not part of the solution use an open (not filled in) circle. • Finally demonstrate where to find all of the solutions on the number line by drawing a bold line with an arrow.
Compound Inequalities • Compound Inequalities – Two or more inequalities put together. Name some possible solutions to this inequality: We know that: and Try graphing some compound inequalities on number lines with your team!
