This is a handout for an introduction to linear inequalities and their graphs. Have students engage in this to analyze the similarities and differences between linear equations and linear inequalities.

Connecting Representations: Students will have 45 seconds of individual think time to ask themselves questions that will support them to interpret the representations on their own before working with their partner. Students will then be put into pairs to look for and identify structure by sharing what they noticed and what connections they are making between the representations. Students will make their connections and prove why they made the matches that they did. One group’s work will be chose

Bleep is a numeracy routine where students are given a word problem with missing quantities. Students choose their own quantities to solve the problem! Students will be given a word problem that’s missing the quantities. They will: Fill in the blanks with #s of their choiceUse the numbers they chose to model the scenarioUse the equation(s) they created to solve the given problem

This is a unit plan for a linear equations unit. It includes the common core standards, essential questions, key student learning objectives, sequence of key learning activities, texts to be used, and assessments and tasks.
