Students translate equations and inequalities from words into algebraic expressions/equations/inequalities and then solve their equations and inequalities. Questions include:-Translate the word problem into an equation/inequality and solve. -Solve for the variable. -Translate numerical expression into a verbal expression. -Translate the verbal inequality into an algebraic inequality. -Determine which inequality sign is used in the given expression. Includes 10 task cards with multiple question

This error analysis algebra activity will make your students really think about 1-variable inequalities. Students identify incorrect statements when presented with 1-step and 2-step inequalities, then fix each error on their answer sheets. On five of the cards there are 3 inequalities and their possible graphs (statements). On the other 5 cards, there is a graph and their possible inequalities (statements). Students need to figure out which of the 3 statements on each card is false (the "lie"),

Students work in partners to solve multi-step inequalities in this "Around the Clock" activity that encourages collaboration and math talk. Each partner gets a clock with 12 unique problems. Each partner's clock problems are different but the answers are the same, encouraging teamwork. If one student gets stuck, the other can help. If student answers differ, they work together to figure out the correct answer before moving on to the next problem. The activity is self-checking, providing students
