Use texts and dances to teach inequalities and equations. A sixth-grade unit covers using variables in equations and inequalities to solve problems. Learners show what they know at the end of the unit using two performance tasks, one using texts as a context and the other using a dance. Lesson outlines provide teachers with useful material to use to present instruction.
