Mathematics | Grade : 6

Domain - Expressions and Equations

Cluster - Reason about and solve one-variable equations and inequalities.

[6.EE.B.8] - Write an inequality of the form x > c or x < c to represent a constraint or condition in a real-world or mathematical prob-lem. Recognize that inequalities of the form x > c or x < c have infinitely many solutions; represent solutions of such in-equalities on number line diagrams.

Resources:


  • Number line diagram
    A diagram of the number line used to represent numbers and support reasoning about them. In a number line diagram for measurement quantities, the interval from 0 to 1 on the diagram represents the unit of measure for the quantity.

Successor Standards:

  • 7.EE.B.4.b
    Solve word problems leading to inequalities of the form px + q > r or px + q < r, where p, q, and r are specific rational numbers. Graph the solution set of the inequality and interpret it in the context of the problem. For example: As a sales-person, you are paid $50 per week plus $3 per sale. This week you want your pay to be at least $100. Write an inequality for the number of sales you need to make, and describe the solutions..

Same Level Standards:

  • 6.NS.C.6.a
    Recognize opposite signs of numbers as indicating locations on opposite sides of 0 on the number line; recognize that the opposite of the opposite of a number is the number itself, e.g., –(–3) = 3, and that 0 is its own opposite.
  • 6.NS.C.6.c
    Find and position integers and other rational numbers on a horizontal or vertical number line diagram; find and position pairs of integers and other rational numbers on a coordinate plane.
  • 6.NS.C.7.a
    Interpret statements of inequality as statements about the relative position of two numbers on a number line diagram. For example, interpret –3 > –7 as a statement that –3 is located to the right of –7 on a number line oriented from left to right.
  • 6.NS.C.7.b
    Write, interpret, and explain statements of order for rational numbers in real-world contexts. For example, write –3 °C > –7 °C to express the fact that –3 °C is warmer than –7°C.
