Writing inequalities to describe real-world situations

The topic  appears under the 7th Grade Math Mission. This exercise uses inequality symbols and variables to model actual situations.

Types of Problems
There is one type of problem in this exercise:


 * 1) Write an inequality: This problem provides a real-life situation that can be modeled with an inequality. The student is expected to write a inequality with a variable in the available space.Uitdrwc1.png

Strategies
Translating word problems and confidence in the language of mathematics can assist with doing this exercise.
 * 1) The inequalities never involve "equal to." In other words, it will either use, there is no need for the <= or >=.
 * 2) The number is in the problem but the direction of the inequality is determined by the question at the end.
 * 3) There is no need for calculation on this exercise, reading and writing are all that is needed.
