What students need to be able to do

• Apply properties of real numbers and inequality properties to solve one- and two-step inequalities in one variable.
• Investigate and explain how multiplying or dividing by a rational number less than zero affects the solution set of a linear inequality.
• Represent solutions to one- or two-step linear inequalities algebraically and graphically using a number line.
• Write one- or two-step linear inequalities in one variable to represent a verbal situation, including contextual problems.
• Create a verbal situation in context given a one- or two-step linear inequality in one variable.
• Solve problems in context that require the solution of a one- or two-step inequality.
• Identify numerical values that are part of the solution set of a given one- or two-step linear inequality in one variable.
• Describe differences and similarities between solving linear inequalities and linear equations in one variable.
