Unit Title: <strong>Solving</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Graphing</strong> <strong>Linear</strong> <strong>Inequalities</strong> Subject(s): Algebra I<br />
Grade Level: 8-9<br />
Enduring Underst<strong>and</strong>ing/Big Ideas: Students should be able to … Teacher(s): Math Department<br />
Graph one dimensional inequalities. Duration: 7 days<br />
Solve inequalities, noting the difference from the methods used for solving equations.<br />
Write <strong>and</strong> solve compound single dimensional inequalities by interpreting phrases than use “<strong>and</strong>” or “or.”<br />
Guiding Question: What does it mean to be infinitely big or infinitely small?<br />
Continuity: Where does this unit come from <strong>and</strong> where is it taking students next?<br />
Students are building upon their knowledge of graphing <strong>and</strong> solving equations by graphing <strong>and</strong> solving inequalities.<br />
