Inequality Bill Of Fare Sorts

Today, is my students' showtime twenty-four hours dorsum from break.  Yesterday, nosotros had a professional person twenty-four hours which was generally a "work inward your room" day.  I took this fourth dimension equally an chance to exercise a yoke of novel carte du jour sorts for my Algebra 1 class.

Before break, nosotros were focused on graphing lines from equations together with writing equations from graphs. I blogged close our interactive notebook pages for this unit of measurement here.  The final usage of our electrical flow unit of measurement has a switch inward focus to graphing together with writing inequalities.  My students bring already been exposed to one-variable inequalities, but my students haven't seen them inward a spell together with hence nosotros withdraw review.

My "includes" vs. "excludes" poster set should come upwards inward handy for this!

  

My excogitation is to position students inward pairs together with start them amongst a one-variable inequality carte du jour form to assistance jog their memories together with acquire them talking.

Each grouping amongst acquire a laid of v release lines together with inequalities to agree together.

Hopefully, my students volition hold upwards able to hold upwards successful amongst this "review" carte du jour sort.  I volition inquire students to part amongst the bird whatever strategies they used to agree upwards their release lines together with inequalities.  

Then, I am going to exercise something scary.  I am going to give them the adjacent carte du jour form together with inquire them to agree two-variable inequalities together with graphs without having done whatever education regarding two-variable inequalities.  

I desire to come across what my students tin exercise without whatever input from me.  I am inspired to exercise this past times my recent reading of Make It Stick (affiliate link).  

The mass claims that trying to solve a occupation earlier beingness shown a solution leads to improve together with deeper learning fifty-fifty if errors are made inward that showtime attempt.  In the past, I've been a "how volition they know how to exercise it if I don't present them?" teacher.  But, I'm trying to change.  I'm trying to challenge my students to mean value on their own.  Then, nosotros volition examine their solutions together with utter through them.  I mean value my students volition hold upwards to a greater extent than attentive when nosotros exercise acquire to the note-taking phase of our lesson since they bring already attempted a occupation on their own.  

Here's the two-variable inequality carte du jour form I bring created for them to attempt.  

Another affair I am trying for the showtime fourth dimension this twelvemonth is looking at dissimilar versions of the same equation/inequality.  Instead of matching a bunch of dissimilar inequalities, I used the same basic equation/inequality: y ? 2x + 1.  I promise this helps students focus on precisely what changes when nosotros alter the symbol.  

If y'all would similar to usage i or both of these carte du jour sorts inward your ain classroom, I bring uploaded the files here.

I created the graphs together with release lines for these carte du jour sorts using GraphFree.com which I learned close from individual inward the #MTBoS.  I only can't yell upwards who.
