I - Inequalities Module Overview

Math_MS7Banner.pngInequalities Module Overview

Introduction

Graph of InequalitiesIn this module, students will extend their knowledge of graphing and writing inequalities and solving equations to solving one and two-step inequalities with a variable and graphing the solutions on a number line. They will also learn to write inequalities from a graph. These skills will be used in problem solving contexts and real-life situations.

Essential Questions

  • How do you solve inequalities that involve one-step operations?
  • How do you use multiplication or division to solve inequalities?
  • How do you combine these operations to solve multi-step inequalities?
  • How do you graph inequalities?

Key Terms

The following key terms will help you understand the content in this module.

Addition property of inequality - You can add the same number to both sides of an inequality, and the inequality will still be true.

Algebraic Inequality - An Algebraic inequality is simply an inequality that contains at least one variable

Inequality - An inequality is a mathematical sentence that shows the relationship between quantities that are not equivalent.

Solution Set - A solution set is the set of values that make an inequality statement true.

Subtraction property of inequality - You can subtract the same number from both sides of an inequality, and the inequality will still be true.
