Solving and Graphing One-Step Inequalities

Watch this video as many times as you need. WSQ in your notebooks.  

W = Work out any problems assigned during the video in your notes.
S = Summarize the video.  This can be done using bullets.  List at least 3 things you learned from this video or important things to remember about this lesson.
Q = Question you have or a question someone else might have about the information in the video. This can also be a question that sparks discussion or causes other to think about the topic more deeply.

Summary Questions:
1. How is solving inequalities similar to solving equations?
2. How is solving inequalities different from solving equations?
3. How do you graph inequalities?

Equations and Their Solutions

Watch this video as many times as you need. WSQ in your notebooks.  

W = Work out any problems assigned during the video in your notes.
S = Summarize the video.  This can be done using bullets.  List at least 3 things you learned from this video or important things to remember about this lesson.
Q = Question you have or a question someone else might have about the information in the video. This can also be a question that sparks discussion or causes other to think about the topic more deeply.

Summary Questions;
1. What is a solution?
2. How can you determine whether a value is a solution to an equation?
3. Equations are commonly described as a balance.  Why is this a good description?
