Unit 6, Lesson 16
Interpreting Inequalities
Grade 7
Preparation
Lesson Narrative
In this lesson, students identify which inequality, from several options, matches a given situation. They make sense of what each part of the inequality represents in the context. Then they write a question about the situation that could be answered by solving the inequality. Finally, students solve the inequality and create a visual display explaining their solution. As students create their displays and examine others’ displays, they construct and critique arguments (MP3).
- Critique (orally) a solution method for a problem involving an inequality.
- Identify the inequality that represents a situation, and justify (in writing) the choice.
- Present (orally, in writing, and using other representations) the solution method for a problem involving an inequality, and interpret the solution.
Let’s write inequalities.
