For each expression, pick a number you would like to evaluate, and tell whether it makes the inequality true. Be prepared to explain what made you choose your number.

1. 1. Pick a number you would like to test in place of : -1, 0, 1, 3, 4, or 5. Explain why you chose your number.

   2. Does your number make the inequality true?

   3. What is a different number that is definitely a solution? How do you know?

   4. What is a different number that is definitely not a solution? How do you know?

2. 1. Pick a number you would like to test in place of : -1, -0.5, 0, 0.5, 1, 3, 10, or 1,000. Explain why you chose your number.

   2. Does your number make the inequality true?

   3. What is a different number that is definitely a solution? How do you know?

   4. What is a different number that is definitely not a solution? How do you know?

3. 1. Pick a number you would like to test in place of : -100, -3, -1, 0,, , 33, or 100. Explain why you chose your number.

   2. Does your number make the inequality true?

4. 1. Pick a number you would like to test in place of : -10, -5, -4, 0, 4, 5, 10, or 20. Explain why you chose your number.

   2. Does your number make the inequality true?

   3. What is a different number that is definitely a solution? How do you know?

   4. What is a different number that is definitely not a solution? How do you know?

For each inequality, write 2 values that make the inequality true, write 2 values that make it false, and choose a verbal description that matches the inequality.

1. 1. Two values that make it true:
   2. Two values that make it false:
   3. Which verbal description best matches the inequality?
      1. is less than 13.5.
      2. is greater than 13.5.
      3. 13.5 is greater than .
2. 1. Two values that make it true:
   2. Two values that make it false:
   3. Which verbal description best matches the inequality?
      1. is less than -27.
      2. is greater than -27.
      3. -27 is greater than .
3.  and 
   1. Two values that make it true:
