Unit Name and #:
Dates:
Feb 16 – Feb 20, 2015
What are we learning?
Monday
Daily Objective:
 Students will test values to determine the solution sets of linear inequalities in one
variable.
 Students will use algebra to solve linear inequalities in one variable
 Students will graph the solution sets of linear inequalities in one variable on a number
line.
 Students will discover that multiplying or dividing an inequality by a negative number
causes the direction of the inequality sign to reverse.
TEKS/AP/Standards:
MMA.1B Use multiple approaches (algebraic, graphical, and geometric methods) to solve
problems from a variety of disciplines.
MMA.3C Determine the appropriateness of a model for making predictions from a given set
of data presented in a real life situation.
How will we learn it?
Learning Activities:
Exploring Linear Inequalities in One Variable Gizmo
- Activity A – Addition and Subtraction Inequalities
- Activity B – Multiplication and Division Inequalities
How will we tell if we’re learning it correctly?
Assessment Methods:
Completion of Student Activities on the Gizmo
Checks for Understanding:
Room circulation guiding students and answering questions
What do I need to be successful?
Materials: Calculators, graphs, Gizmo access, computers, worksheet
What do I need to do before next class?
Follow Up/HW:
Solving One-Step Inequalities by Adding/Subtracting
