Lesson 10

Math

Unit 5

9th Grade

Lesson 10 of 16

Objective


Solve absolute value inequalities algebraically and verify graphically.

Common Core Standards


Core Standards

  • A.REI.B.3 — Solve linear equations and inequalities in one variable, including equations with coefficients represented by letters.

Foundational Standards

  • 8.EE.C.7
  • 8.EE.C.8

Criteria for Success


  1. Solve absolute value inequalities algebraically.
  2. Verify solutions to absolute inequalities using substitution and by graphing in the coordinate plane.

Tips for Teachers


  • This lesson is a continuation of Lesson 9, in that students will solve more complex absolute value inequalities and use technology to verify their solutions in graphical form. All examples for this lesson should include variables only on one side of the inequality (within the absolute value); there is an example of an absolute value inequality compared to a non-constant function in Lesson 11.
  • This lesson addresses a specific standard in the Massachusetts state frameworks: A-REI.3a, "Solve linear equations and inequalities in one variable involving absolute value."
