Statements often have multiple interpretations — but not these inequality statements. Scholars compare rational numbers and write inequality statements symbolically. The instructional activity includes problems that require comparing...

Displaying the causes, trends, and effects of income inequality, this presentation covers the wide gap between wealth and poverty in the United States. The navigational tool will help lecturers guide the conversation. The key terms in...

Sixth graders investigate triangles and the inequality theorem. They will collaborate in groups to determine the length of a longest side of a triangle. Then relate the size of the triangle to its angles using protractors, yard sticks,...

Learners estimate and measure triangles. In this geometry instructional activity, students identify the relationship between three sides and a triangle. They use the inequality theorem to decide if a triangle will be formed or not.

What is the difference between a flat tax, progressive tax, tax deduction and transfer payments? Pupils examine the ability-to-pay principle of taxation through discussion, problem solving, and a variety of worksheets on topics from US...

Students examine the concept of inequality. They compare and contrast vertical and horizontal inequality and identify methods on how inequality is measured. They research trends of inequality in the United Kingdom.

Equal pay for equal work? High schoolers research the reasons for the inequity in women's pay. They read articles, examine graphs, engage in discussion, and then craft an essay in which they suggest a way to address the gender wage gap.

Middle schoolers study the triangle inequality. They will identify, compare, and analyze attributes of two and three-dimensional shapes. Then they develop vocabulary to describe the attributes. They also use manipulatives to analyze the...

In this mixture word problem worksheet, students read story problems and determine what information is necessary to solve the mixture problem. They identify the correct solution, graph inequalities, and solve inequality equations. Nine...

In this solving inequalities worksheet, students solve inequalities with variables on both sides. They state the solution set of the inequality. This two-page worksheet contains 30 problems.

Students examine poverty and inequality in America. In this current events lesson plan, students read the provided articles "Poverty," "Inequality Growing in America," "Inequality: Views on Causes, Effects, Remedies," and "Theories on...

Students discover that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the third side. They are shown how a triangle is formed using three strips such as that the triangle is seen inside the strips.

Students use the inequality theorem to solve triangles and their properties. For this geometry lesson, students are given spaghetti of different lengths and asked to create triangles. They conclude the necessary length needed to make a...

High schoolers investigate the relationship between angle measures and sides of a triangle and the relationships among the three sides of a triangle. The use of technology (Cabri, Jr.) allows learners to make and test conjectures as they...

Students watch the Discovery program "Racial Inequality: Remnants of a Troubled Time" then examine the ratification of the 14th Amendment and the Plessy v. Ferguson decision. They research one of three events that tested Brown v. Board...

Students explore, examine and experiment with pasta sticks to discover the triangle inequality principle. They assess if any three lines or segments fit together to form a triangle. Each student also completes a Triangle Recording Chart...

Students prove and apply theorems of triangle inequality and hinge theorem. In this geometry lesson, students will discuss which triangle is bigger and why. They will use theorems, such as Exterior Angle Inequality or the Pythagorean...

True or false? Scholars determine the truth value of equations and inequalities through substitution. All values to use for substitution are given with each equation or inequality. This is the 24th instructional activity in a module of 36.

Explore linear programming on a website game. Partners solve a real-world problem by setting up an objective function and a linear inequality. They graph their results on chart paper and also using a calculator before presenting their...

Students solve problems within-inequalities. For this algebra lesson, students apply concepts of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to solve inequalities.

What does solving an inequality have in common with solving an equation? Almost everything! A math resource focuses on the one exception. The examples lead learners through the steps of solving an equality when multiplying or...

Many learners like to play sports and the equipment that goes with it costs money. The resource sets up an inequality that gives a total amount needed to purchase the equipment and the initial amount of money already obtained. In order...

Which number is bigger? Using a variety of activity sheets, this unit starts with the basics of inequalities and progresses through solving compound linear inequalities. Problems cover the range of inequalities including inequality word...

Young political scientists investigate the Poor People's Campaign protest held in Washington, D.C., on June 18, 2022. They research how the event was reported in various news outlets and consider their stance on whether...
