Basic Inequalities

Solve and graph simple inequalities using <, >, ≤, ≥ symbols.

Student Tips:

  • < means “less than” (3 < 5)
  • means “greater than” (7 > 2)

  • ≤ means “less than or equal to”
  • ≥ means “greater than or equal to”
  • The alligator mouth opens to the bigger number
  • On number lines: open circles for < or >, closed circles for ≤ or ≥

Teaching Instruction: Start with number comparisons before variables. Use “alligator eats the bigger number” analogy. Practice graphing on number lines. Connect to real situations (age restrictions, speed limits, temperature ranges).
