"Great activity that didn't take the entire period, but was a perfect way for kids to review and practice this topic while also applying it to word problems!! The riddle part made it extra fun ;)"

Description
Let's face it... most of our students HATE word problems. Make word problem more engaging with this applications of systems of inequalities activity! This activity has students complete 4 problems in which they have to write a system of inequalities given a word problem and graph the system. One letter will be in their solution set, giving students the answer to the riddle!
Answer key included!

fun riddle
My students love completing riddles to see the jokes.
Great resource
This is a great resource. It was well organized and aligned with our goals.
Great check-in/review
Met expectations
Great value

This was an awesome way to review systems of linear inequalities using real-life situations. It was easy to use and easy for students to understand.
I used this in my 9th grade ELL Algebra class and students liked having options to check their answer. It was short enough for them to complete in one class period.
I added scaffolds for the students to fill in the corresponding rates for x and y and choose the inequality sign. For example: ___x+___y___120 and x+y ___ 10
My only complaint is that there is a mistake on the answer key for #1. The answer key seems to have swapped values for x and y (the equation should use 20x+10y >=120 but has 10x+20y>=120). Luckily, the "wrong" answer ended up being written close to the intersection of the lines so students were able to recognize it!
Thank you for your review and for bringing that typo to my attention. I've corrected it so if you redownload you'll have the correct version for next time!
Great four problems for extra practice. I appreciate resources with these types of problems - they are hard to find along with a coordinate plane and I was happy to see that both axes were labeled already, as determining intervals is not a part of the concept being taught.
Mistakes.
Should also give the linear inequality equations.
Hello,
This resource is aimed at state standards that require students to generate the linear inequalities from the word problem but you could absolutely write in the inequalities before copying to use as graphing practice or as a scaffold.
