Single Variable Linear Inequalities

Strand: Patterns and Relations (Variables and Equations)
Outcome: 4

Curriculum Focus

The changes to the curriculum targeted by this sample include:

• The previous program of studies focused on solving single variable inequalities algebraically; the revised program of studies invites students to explain and illustrate strategies to solve single variable linear inequalities.
• The processes of problem solving, reasoning and visualization carry over, and communication and connections have been added.

Single Variable Linear Inequalities addresses the following outcomes from the Program of Studies:

Strand:	Patterns and Relations (Variables and Equations)
Specific Outcomes:	4. Explain and illustrate strategies to solve single variable linear inequalities with rational coefficients within a problem-solving context.

What is a Planning Guide?

Planning Guides are a tool for teachers to use in designing instruction and assessment that focuses on developing and deepening students' understanding of mathematical concepts. This tool is based on the process outlined in Understanding by Design, by Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe.

The following steps will help you through the Planning Guide:

• Step 1: Identify Outcomes to Address
• Step 2: Determine Evidence of Student Learning
• Step 3: Plan for Instruction
• Step 4: Assess Student Learning
• Step 5: Follow-up on Assessment
