Inequalities is a new topic to grade 6 because of the new common core.

Test
your students knowledge of inequalities using this creative summative perform-
ance assessment. Use it as an inequality test or project. Keep them interested
with this fun and real world applications of inequalities.

Students will make a brochure for their own amusement park. They create rides
and complete tasks on the inequalities they have learned about.

Document Includes: Project Directions, Brochure Template, Student Answer

Sheet, and Rubric

Assesses Standards:
6.EE.B.5 Understand solving an equation or inequality as a process of answering a question: which values
from a specified set, if any, make the equation or inequality true? Use substitution to determine whether a
given number in a specified set makes an equation or inequality true.

6.EE.B.8 Write an inequality of the form x > c or x < c to represent a constraint or condition in a real-world
or mathematical problem. Recognize that inequalities of the form x > c or x < c have infinitely many solu-
tions; represent solutions of such inequalities on number line diagrams.

6.NS.C.8 Solve real-world and mathematical problems by graphing points in all four quadrants of the coor-
dinate plane. Include use of coordinates and absolute value to find distances between points with the same
first coordinate or the same second coordinate.

6.RP.A.3d Use ratio reasoning to convert measurement units; manipulate and transform units appropriately
when multiplying or dividing quantities.

You are opening a new amusement park. You still have some important deci-
sions to make before you open. Including making a brochure. The brochure

Map of Park Cover Page

• Each ride should be placed on the coordinate plane with a • Name of Park
point • Image of Park
• A Key Should be included • Your name
• Coordinates should be given

• Hours of Operation Ride information

• Pricing Information
• 4 rides (you can include more if you’d like)
• Name for each ride
• Ride Description
• Height Requirement

The project should be neat and organized. It should include images, be colored, and fol-
low the guidelines provided.

should make sense and be appropriate for a family amusement park.
Hours of Operation: They are up to you!
Pricing: Children 3 and under are free, Children over 3 are $12, Adults 18 and older are $20, and
Senior Citizens over 59 are $15.
Ride A:
Coordinate must be ( 8, 3 1/2).
You must be over 36 inches to ride.
Ride B:
Coordinates must be (0, 7).
You must be under 30 inches to ride.
Ride C:
Coordinates must be (-3, -6).
You must be over 48 inches to ride.
Ride D:
Coordinates must be (5, -8).
You must be 48 inches or shorter to ride.

Once the brochure is completed. You must answer the questions that follow the project.
