Compound Inequalities

Students will be able to solve any linear compound inequality in one variable.  They will be able to perform the correct method for isolating the variable.  The students will learn what inclusive means, and how it is applied in linear compound inequalities.  The students will learn key words that appear in word problems, and how to interpret their meaning in reference to an inequality. The students will be able to write the linear compound inequality shown on a number-line. They will also be able to graph given compound inequalities on a number line.

Students will be able to solve any one variable, linear compound inequality.  They will be able to translate information from a given word problem in to a linear compound inequality. Students will also be able to graph linear compound inequalities on a number line.

During class, the teacher will give notes and model example problems of linear compound inequalities. The students will complete all class work in a packet that they were given at the beginning of the chapter.  The students will practice solving linear compound inequality problems through guided practice and independently practice.  The students will be assigned homework from the book.  The next day the students will work on a worksheet during class that will be graded.  On this day, the students will be given more individual help if needed.  Questions involving linear compound inequalities will appear on the final assessment.

The Solving Compound Inequalities: Rubric will be used when grading the “Solving Compound Inequalities” worksheet.  In order for the students to receive full credit when writing linear compound inequalities, they must correctly interpret the verbal sentences and write the proper inequality to represent the information.  To receive full credit for graphing the linear compound inequalities, the students must correctly solve the linear compound inequalities, and graph the inequalities correctly on the number line.
