Instructional Ideas

• Use the resource as a review activity

Classroom Considerations

• Learners need to be able to graph inequalities in two variables on the coordinate plane
• Be sure to have extra graph paper available during the activity portion of the lesson

Pros

• Includes reproducible worksheets and game boards
• Provides suggestions on how to address common misconceptions

Cons

• The way the shading is shown in the teacher guide for the game is the opposite of the process used to shade solutions; suggest not using the sheet with learners as it will likely confuse them
