Math 7 Plus Unit 4 Overview

This document provides an overview of a math unit on inequalities for 7th grade students. The unit will teach students to write inequalities to represent situations, solve inequalities algebraically, and graph solutions to inequalities on a number line. Key standards addressed include writing and solving inequalities of the form px + q > r or px + q < r. This unit builds on prior learning of operations with rational numbers and solving equations, and prepares students for future work with linear inequalities and systems of inequalities. The document provides vocabulary terms and recommends additional resources to support student understanding of inequalities.

Math 7 Plus Unit 4 Overview: Inequalities


Unit Outcomes
At the end of this unit, your student should be able to:
Write inequalities to represent a situation
Solve inequalities
Graph solutions to inequalities on a number line

Key Vocabulary

Key Standards Addressed


Connections to Common Core/NC Essential Standards
7.EE.4 - Use variables to represent quantities in a realworld or mathematical problem, and construct simple
equations and inequalities to solve problems by reasoning
about the quantities.
7.EE.4b. - Solve word problems leading to inequalities of
the form px + q >; r or px + q < r, where p, q, and r are
specific rational numbers. Graph the solution set of the
inequality and interpret it in the context of the
problem. For example: As a salesperson, you are paid $50
per week plus $3 per sale. This week you want your pay to
be at least $100. Write an inequality for the number of
sales you need to make, and describe the solutions.
