Numbers on a number line

数轴上的数

Description

Understand inequalities as statements comparing expressions, represent solutions on a number line, and solve simple linear inequalities using the same inverse-operation methods as equations

Mastery Evidence
  • Write an inequality from a worded constraint (e.g., 'must be at least 12' → x ≥ 12)
  • Represent the solution set of an inequality on a number line with open or closed circles
  • Solve a one-step or two-step inequality such as 3x + 1 < 10
Assessment Prompt

Can your child solve an inequality like 2x + 1 < 9, show the answer on a number line, and explain what all the solutions have in common?
