Do properties of equations hold true for inequalities? Teach solving inequalities through the theme of properties. Your class discovers that the multiplication property of equality doesn't hold true for inequalities when multiplying by a...

Not all resources are created equal — and your class benefits! Scholars learn how to solve one-step inequalities using inverse operations. They complete an activity matching inequalities to their solutions.

English and math have more in common than you think. Make a connection between a compound sentence and a compound inequality with an activity that teaches learners the difference between an "and" and "or" inequality through solutions...

Can you justify that mathematically?  Help learners see the process of solving as using mathematical properties rather than a set of steps to memorize in the fourth module of a nine-part Algebra I series. The module contains six...

Guide your class through the intricacies of solving compound inequalities with a resource that compares solutions of an equation, less than inequality, and greater than inequality. Once pupils understand the differences, the...

Is the application of systems of equations giving your class headaches? Use this resource to build on your pupils' logic to lead them to building equations and using algebraic methods. The lesson begins with an exploration of...

School subjects connect when your young scholars use math to edit English. Math allows you to convert an entire paragraph into a simple equation or inequality. Examples encourage learners to write expressions, equations, and inequalities...

What does order of operations have to do with solving equations? A video explains solving two-step equations using a do/undo chart. Learners recognize the operations within an equation and use inverse operations to undo those...
