Solving Systems of Inequalities

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Solving Systems of Inequalities lesson plan also includes:
  • Worksheet
  • Answer Key
  • Join to access all included materials

Don't throw away those transparency sheets just yet! Young scholars first review inequalities on a number line, then learn about graphing inequalities in the coordinate plane. Finally, they use overhead transparencies to create systems with partners and solve those systems by graphing.
