STAGE I – DESIRED RESULTS
LESSON TOPIC:
Solving linear equations and inequalities:
 Classifying real numbers
 Order of Operations
 Properties of Real Numbers
 Solving Linear Equations
 Solving Absolute Value Equations
 Solving Inequalities
 Graphing Inequalities
BIG IDEAS:
(Content standards, assessment anchors, eligible content) objectives, and skill
focus)
Numbers, measures, expressions, equations, and inequalities can
represent mathematical situations and structures in many equivalent
forms.
M11.A.1.3.1 Compare and/or plot irrational numbers at the
approximate location on a number line.
M11.A.3.1.1 Simplify expressions using the order of operations
to solve problems (any rational numbers may be used).
M11.D.2.1.1 Solve compound inequalities and/or graph their
solution sets on a number line (may include absolute value
inequalities).
M11.D.2.1.3 Write and/or solve a linear equation from given
problem situations.
UNDERSTANDING GOALS (CONCEPTS):
ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS:
Students will understand:
How can we show that algebraic properties and processes are extensions
of arithmetic properties and processes, and how can we use algebraic
properties and processes to solve problems?
Linear relationships: Equation and inequalities in one and two
variables:

2.
3.
4.
5.
Classifying real numbers
Using order of operations and properties of real numbers
to evaluate expressions.
Solving linear & absolute value equations.
Translating verbal expressions into algebraic expressions
and equations.
Solving and graphing on a number line simple,
compound and absolute value inequalities.
VOCABULARY:
 Order of operations
