Write and Solve Two-Step Inequalities in Context

Begin with the one-step sheets and When to Flip the Inequality Sign before the two-step sheets. Have students check a solution by substituting a value from the shaded part of the graph.

Write and solve two-step inequalities about cookie tins, a party and car washes, then state the limit. The directions on the page read: Use any letter for the number of items. Write an inequality, solve it in the box, and give the whole-number limit in words, such as at least 4 tickets. An answer key is included.

Yes, both. We made it for 7th grade algebra, and it works the same at home or at school. At home, a student can work through it alone and then go over it with you, which shows quickly what is solid and what needs another look. In class it works as independent practice, homework or a warm-up, and you can print one copy or a full set.

Flip it when you multiply or divide both sides by a negative number. For −3x > 15, dividing by −3 gives x < −5. When to Flip the Inequality Sign has students check each solved step as right or wrong.

Use an open circle for < or > and a closed circle for ≤ or ≥, then shade the side that makes the inequality true. The graphing sheets here print a number line under each problem. Two-Step Inequalities With Integers practices this.

Substitute the number for the variable and see if the statement is true. A problem can have more than one solution. Test Solutions to One-Step Inequalities has students circle every value that works.

Look for limits such as at most, at least or less than. Noor can spend at most $42 on $6 notebooks gives 6n ≤ 42. Write and Solve One-Step Inequalities in Context also asks students to write what the answer means in a sentence.
