Writing, Solving, and Graphing Inequalities (6.EE.8)

6.EE.8 – SWBAT write an inequality of the form x < c or x > c to represent a constraint or condition in a real-world or mathematical problem. Recognize that inequalities of the form x > c or x < c have infinitely many solutions; represent solutions of such inequalities on number line diagrams.

6) Conditions in a Real-World Situation – Amusement Part Inequalities

  • Visit as it is filled with numerous real-world examples of inequalities being used. For example, if you are in the ‘Jolly Rancher’ category, you must be greater than 60 inches. How can this be translated using an inequality symbol? To ride the roller coaster ‘The Comet’, your minimum height is 42 – 48 inches. How tall could you be to ride this ride? If you are not allowed to ride this ride, how tall might you be? Using questions like this will help you to understand the possible values for x so you are able to translate an inequality. Explore the site by clicking on the ‘Rides’ tab at the top of the page and translating FOURinequalities of your choice.
  • Visit - Choose FOUR rides, write the height requirement, translate it to an inequality, and then graph it.

7) Reflection addressing the following prompts

  • What ideas did you struggle with the most?
  • What remediation tool (program/site) helped you the most and why?
  • What impact did the remediation play in your overall comprehension of the skill that you were struggling with?
