Solving and Graphing Systems of Inequalities

Crash Course Video Lesson

Crash Course Video Lesson (Spanish)

Common Misconceptions to Look Out For

  • Misunderstanding open vs. closed boundary lines (solid for “≤” and “≥” and dashed for “<” and “>”)
  • Forgetting to shade the correct region (above/below the line)
  • Forgetting how to find the solution set

Differentiation Tips

  • Scaffolding: Begin with single inequalities on the coordinate plane, then move to systems with clear intersections, and finally, practice complex systems with no solution or multiple intersections.
  • Advanced Learners: Incorporate word problems that require setting up and graphing systems of inequalities to model constraints and optimal solutions in real-life scenarios.
