Objective of the Day: Today I (which is you), will be able to solve one step inequalities using addition or subtraction AND graph the result on a number line. I'll also be able to model real life situations using inequalities and solve them too! Wooo big big big day!!

First, let's start out testing solutions to inequalities. For example, if x > 3, would -5 be a solution?
Yes
No
IDK (Never a good answer...)
If you need a refresher on how to test a solution or what that means, watch the video below. If you're confident in your skills, move on to the following practice.
The outlined content above was added from outside of Formative.

Now, click on the blue text below to test your knowledge. Remember, raise your hand and ask Mr. Felix for help if needed! Or turn to your partner and ask them for help!
Also, make sure you are logged into Khan Academy so Mr. Felix can see all those 100%s you get!
Testing Solutions to Inequalities
When you're done, click on the most fitting answer below.
I answered 100% correct... or maybe just got ONE wrong... BUT I know what I'm doing and could get 100% if I tried again!
I.... well I... didn't do it...

Now that you've finished testing solutions, describe how you could use this knowledge to help graph an inequality on the number line. How does testing solutions help you "Petr Cech" your answers...? Does it help you figure out which way your solution arrow is pointing?

Now let's start translating these inequalities to graphs on a number line. Quick question, if you see an inequality on a number line, what does the bold arrow pointing in one direction mean?
It represents the numbers that could be solutions to the inequality
What arrow? Is this PE class?
It represents the numbers that could NOT be solutions to the inequality
It represents which way the wind is blowing

Another quick question, how do I represent a less than or equal to symbol on the number line?
With an open square
With an open circle
With a closed square
With a closed circle

Last quick question, in the inequality y ≤ -3.4 , what is the critical value?
-3.4
≤
y

Ok really, this is the last quick question: in the inequality z > 14 , what is are the possible solutions of z? Choose all that apply.

Now, enough of picking some multiple choice answers. I want to see you draw your own graph. Click on the box below and graph the given inequality. Consider this a graphing inequalities formative. Play around with the tool bar on your left to make circles, draw lines, and use different colors. Take it seriously and try it without notes! Good luck!!

The quote above was obviously talking about One-Step Inequalities. In your opinion, why are these inequalities called one step? What does that one step mean? Be specific please!

A person can be no taller than 6.25 feet to become an astronaut pilot for NASA. Your friend is 5 feet 9 inches tall. Write and solve an inequality that represents how much your friend can grow(g) and still meet the requirement. Note, 12 inches equals 1 foot.
5.75 + 𝑔 ≤ 6.25
5.75 + 𝑔 ≥ 6.25
5.75 + 𝑔 > 6.25
5.75 + 𝑔 < 6.25

If you've gotten this far, bravo to you!!
So, we've been working on solving inequalities using addition and subtraction. You figured out that it's really similar, no... exactly like, solving equations. Now we're going to take it one step further. Let's start solving inequalities using multiplication or division.
Do you think it's going to be the same or different?
