Patterns, Functions, and Algebra

Virginia SOL 6.PFA.4

Represent a contextual situation using a linear inequality in one variable with symbols and graphs on a number line.

What students need to be able to do

  • Given the graph of a linear inequality in one variable on a number line, represent the inequality in two equivalent ways using symbols (<, >, ≤, ≥).
  • Write a linear inequality in one variable to represent a given constraint or condition in context or given a graph on a number line.
  • Given a linear inequality in one variable, create a corresponding contextual situation or create a number line graph.
  • Use substitution or a number line graph to justify whether a given number in a specified set makes a linear inequality in one variable true.
  • Identify a numerical value(s) that is part of the solution set of a given inequality in one variable.
