Lesson Plan 1
Goal: Students will learn how to graph linear inequalities with two variables. (have the
Prior Knowledge: Students have been working with inequalities but have not done any
graphing with equations. They also have graphed and found solutions to equations of lines.
Time: Class is 60 minutes; Warm up and homework review approx 10 minutes; Lesson time
approx 45 minutes; Homework time approx 5 minutes or leftover time
Warm up:
Gorman (5-8 minutes)
TBA; Mrs. Highland will send it to us sometime this week. Topic is Pythagorean
Theorem.
Note: Gorman will select student to put answer on the board and walk through their
solution.
Introduce the topic:
Schwartz (3-4 minutes)
Ask students if they have ever gone to the store and tried figure out how many items
they can buy with the amount of money they have? Or even when you win tickets from
skeeball or another arcade and you see how many erasers or pieces of candy you can
get with the amount of tickets you have. This is similar to inequalities when you shade
the graph you are shading all the possible solutions. (did not use because used
Highlands warm up) For instance lets say you were playing skeeball you won 20 tickets. You
go to cash in your tickets to get prizes and want to split them between jolly ranchers and erasers and you
want to use as many tickets as you can. Erasers are 3 tickets a piece and jolly ranchers are 2 tickets a
piece. Come up with four different combinations of jolly ranchers and erasers.
So lets say you had an actual business, is there a way you can find all the solutions? (graphing
inequalities)
Schwartz (5 minutes)
Start todays lesson together as a class by discussing problem 9-65, which asks
students about the solutions to the equation y = 2x + 3. Students are reminded that
the points on the graph make the rule true, while the points off the graph do not. (ask
them to see if they know this.) Be sure students understand this concept before you
start teams on problem 9-66.
Note: Schwartz will ask the questions (65: a-c) in the notes out loud to the class and call
on volunteers.
Schwartz hands out strips of paper and dots
Gorman will do brief discussion on 9-67 and 9-68 (5 minutes) If there is time Gorman
will select students to show their work on the board.
Notes: Go through the problems and ask students what solutions they came up with.
Questions: (for 9-67) What would the graph look like if the inequality was y<-2x+3?
How did your group represent this in a graph?
(for 9-68) Which way did you shade for part b(c,d,e) Is your line dashed or whole?
So in the jolly rancher problem you would shade towards all the combinations you
came up with because those are your solutions.
Gorman hands out homework
Schwartz (5 minutes)
After students are finished with 9-67 and 9-68 we will conclude with the wrap up questions (see
below). Homework will follow the final discussion (approx 5 min).
Wrap up/Conclusion: Have students discuss and answer questions as a class from 9-69.
How can you determine if the line is part of the solution?
How can you determine which side of the line the solution belongs to?
What point(s) is (are) easiest to test?
How many points do you need to test?
Additional Notes:
Expectations for Students:Students will work in their teams during the entire lesson; they will
be asked to discuss things in their teams and then participate in the class discussion. They
should be able to provide mathematical reasoning for their responses. Each team will get a set
of points in which they will have to decided if the points are solutions. The teams will discuss
together which dots should be placed on the graph. After placing dots, the teams will be asked
to discuss the questions in 9-66. Everyone is expected to be discussing the questions and then
provide input for class discussion
Different ways to think about inequalities: Finding solutions to inequalities are similar to
finding solutions to equations of a line. However, they must decide if they include the line and
which way the solutions fall according to the line and then shade accordingly.
Anticipating:
9-65: Students might switch x and y coordinates when plotting points and substituting in the
equation. Also students might not multiply negatives correctly when when substituting in the
points.
9-66: Students might switch the inequality around so that the inequality reads less than or equal
to rather than greater than or equal to. They may have trouble understanding the concept of
which side of the line to shade for which inequality. They might think the points on the line are
not solutions because they think it is only greater than rather than greater than or equal to.
9-67: Students might confuse dotted and solid lines and when they should be utilized.
9-68: Students might have trouble with graphing - and 5/2 correctly. They might continue to
confuse which way to shade, and forget dashed lines. Then problem e. they might get confused
because they have to solve for y first.
Students observations and what they have learned. Evidence: If students are able to
communicate the difference and meaning behind their shading and explain solid and dashed
lines they should be good to go. We want to hear them talk about how a solution to an inequality
is shown by the shading on the graph. And solid lines means it includes those points where
dashed lines mean it does not. Students will graph and shade and use the correct line format
correctly, AND be able to walk a peer or teacher through the process of their solution.
