Identify a learning task from your plan that provides students with opportunities to
practice using the language function identified above:
The student will be learning to construct graphs of two variable inequalities throughout
the lesson. The main focus of this lesson to have student understand the steps to
constructing the different type of graphs for inequalities.

Additional Language Demands.​ Given the language function and learning task identified
above, describe the following associated language demands (written or oral) students need to
understand and/or use:

Vocabulary:
● Linear inequality: ​an inequality in two variables whose graph is a region of the
coordinates plane bounded by line
● Boundary: ​separates the coordinate plane into parts that consist the solutions and the
parts that don’t
● Half-planes: ​the parts of the inequality that consists of the solutions
● Test point: ​a point to check if it satisfies the inequality

Plus​ at least one of the following:

Discourse: We will be using discourse in the lesson by applying the academic language to
the steps in graphing inequalities.
For example, student need to use a ​test point: ​a point to check if it satisfies the
inequality, in order to find the side of the graph which need to be shaded, that side of the
graph is called the ​half-planes ​which is the parts of the inequality that consists of the
solutions.

Anticipatory Set/ Attention Getter:

Good morning students. Why do we need to study inequalities? When will you ever use
them in life? What ​is​ an inequality? Well we may think about civil rights when we think of
inequalities, or even something that is not equal. Both of those ways are correct, but what is I
told you we could use inequalities to figure out combinations of amount of rides we can go on in
an amusement park? Today we will be learning to analyze the graphs of inequalities to write
their equations as well as leaning to actually graph them.

Questions to Ask
1. Knowledge:​ ​What is a ​linear inequality​? ​It is an inequality in two variables whose graph
is a region of the coordinates plane bounded by line
2. Analysis/Application:​ ​When and why do we use a ​test point​? ​When we need to check for is
the point satisfies the inequality. This is done to know what side of the half-plane to
shade.
3. Application: I​ s solution shaded above or below the boundary line? ​Above: >, ≥ Below: <,
≤
4. Application: I​ s the line dashed or solid? ​Dashed: <, > Solid: ≤, ≥

Sequence of Events (include time needed):

1. (10 mins)Anticipatory set and review of absolute functions and graphs
2. (10 mins) ​Graphing Linear Inequalities:​ Teacher will begin the lesson by modeling the
step by step ways of graphing linear inequalities.
3. (5 mins) The student will have the opportunity to practice the step by step ways of
graphing linear inequalities with assistance form the teacher then individually. During
this time the teacher will also answer any questions about the lesson.
4. (10 mins) ​Using a Linear Inequality:​ Teacher will model how to use linear inequalities.
5. (10 mins) ​Graphing an Absolute Value Inequality:​ The teacher will model how to
graph an absolute inequality by applying the information learned from the previous
section.
6. (10 mins) ​Writing an Inequality Based on a graph:​ The teacher will model the the
steps to finding the inequality when only given the graph. The student will be able to
write the equation for the inequality.
 7. (10 mins) ​Assessment:​ The teacher will give the student an assessment of the lesson of
the day to check for understanding.
8. (5 mins) Conclusion/Questions

Conclusion/Summary:
Today reviewed the absolute value graphs and we learned to graph inequalities. We also
can apply them to the real world and thought of different ways to apply math to the real world.
Make sure you have the homework assignments written and you turn in the assessment before
leaving the classroom.

What is the graph of each inequality?
y > 3x − 1
Step 1:​ Graph the ​boundary line​ y = 3x − 1 .
Use the dashed boundary line because the inequality is ​greater
than​, and the points on the line do not satisfy the inequality.

Step 2:​ Choose a ​test point,​ (0,0).

Substitute x = 0 and y = 0 into...
y > 3x − 1 .
0 > 3(0) − 1
0 >− 1
Since 0 >− 1 is true, shade the half plane that includes (0,0).
What is the graph of each inequality?
y ≤ 3x − 1
Step 1:​ Graph the ​boundary line​ y = 3x − 1 .
Now we use a solid boundary line because the inequality is ​less
than or equal to.​

Step 2:​ Choose a test point, (0,0).

Substitute x = 0 and y = 0 into...
y ≤ 3x − 1 .
0 ≤ 3(0) − 1
0 ≤− 1
Since 0 ≤− 1 is false (0,0) is not part of the solution.

Using a Linear Inequality
At an amusement park, tickets for rides cost 25 cents. To go on the small rides it cost 3
ticket and 5 tickets for the large rides. You do not want to spend more than $15 on tickets. How
many small or larger rides can you ride?

You can buy 60 tickets with $15.

Relate: # of tickets for small rides + # of tickets for large rides ≤ 60

Define: Let x = the number of small rides

Let y = the number of large rides

Write: 3x + 5y ≤ 60

Step 1:​ Find the intercept of the boundary line. Use the intercepts to graph the boundary line.
When y = 0 , 3x + 5(0) = 60 When x = 0 , 3(0) + 5y = 60
3x = 60 5y = 60
x = 20 y = 12
Graph the line that connect the intercepts (20,0) and (0,12) and use a ​solid​ boundary
line
Rides at the Fair

Step 2: T ​ he region above the line represents the combinations of rise that require more than 60
tickets.
You purchased a finite number of tickets, 60, to you will not be able to go on an infinite
number of rides. Shade the region below the boundary line.
All points with whole number coordinated in the shaded region represent possible
combinations of small and large rides.
Graphing an Absolute Value Inequality
What is the graph of the absolute value inequality?
y ≤ 3 |x − 1|
Step 1:​ Solve the inequality for y . Graph the boundary line
y = 3 |x − 1|
Step 2:​ Choose a test point, (0,0).
Substitute x = 0 and y = 0 into...
0 ≤ 3 |0 − 1|
0 ≤ 3 |− 1|
0≤3
Since 0 ≤ 3 is true, shade the half plane that includes (0,0).
