Inequalities Lesson Plan


Inequalities are the main concepts in mathematical algebra.Usually inequalities are the combination of variables and constants  greater than and less than sign.  For example 2y -10 < 20 is a less than inequality. In this article we are going to study about inequalities lesson plan through suitable example problems.
Brief Summary about Inequalities Lesson Plan


General form of an inequality:
Inequalities take the following form,

     ax +by <= c

     Here x and y are variables and then ‘a’ and ‘b’ are coefficients of x and y and then c is the constant term.  <= is denote the inequality sign.

     The following signs are used to represent the inequalities.  They are

    < = less than
    > = Greater than
    <= less than or equal to
    >= Greater than or equal to

Examples on Solving Inequalities Lesson Plan

Example 1:

     Solve the following inequality 5p + 15 > 45

Solution:

     The given inequality is 5p + 15 > 45

     Now we have to subtract the value 15 on both sides, then we have to get the following inequality,

    5p + 15 -15 > 45 - 15

     That is 5p > 30

     Dividing the value 5 on both sides, then we have to the following inequality,

     That is p>6

     That is p value is greater than 6.

Example 2:

     Solving the following inequality 2r + 18 `<=` 36 and represent it on the number line

Solution:

     The given inequality is 2r + 18 `<=` 36

     Now we have to subtract the value 18 on both sides, then we have to get the following inequality,

     2r + 18 -18 `<=` 36 -18

     That is 2r `<= ` 18

     Dividing the value 2 on both sides, then we have to the following inequality,

     That is r`<=` 9

     That is r value is less than or equal to 9.

     That is r=9 and r is less than 9.


Representation of number line:

 Inequalities on a number line

     First we have to draw the number line and mark the values.  Here r is less than or equal to 9 so we can first shade the value 9 and then draw the arrow in the direction of negative direction.  Because it is the less then (<) value.

    These are the important problems in the inequality lesson plan.
