Big Ideas
  • Equations and inequalities can model real-world situations involving constraints or conditions that must be met.
  • Translating word problems into mathematical representations helps to clarify and solve problems systematically.
Essential Questions
  • How can real-world situations be represented using equations or inequalities?
  • What types of problems are best modeled by equations versus inequalities?
  • How do you identify constraints or conditions within a problem statement?
  • How do we decide whether to use an equation or an inequality to represent a particular scenario?
  • How can the process of representing a situation with an equation or inequality help in problem-solving?
