Solving Linear Inequalities (Foundation)

This resource is for low ability KS4 students. It consists of a lesson presentation, a worksheet plus two handouts. One handout is a matching exercise for students. (IT NEEDS TO BE CUT UP!) The other handout is a summary of what students can and cannot do when solving linear inequalities.

The lesson starts with revision of solving equations. The idea of the solution to an inequality being a range of values is then explained as well as how students can solve inequalities. There is a matching exercise where students re-build solutions that have been cut up before solving two-part inequalities. There are two further parts to the lesson: three-part inequalities and integer solutions. In each case, an example is given before students complete an exercise of questions.
