Lesson 12: Properties of Inequalities Student Outcomes ο§
Students justify the properties of inequalities that are denoted by < (less than), β€ (less than or equal), > (greater than), and β₯ (greater than or equal).
Classwork Sprint (10 minutes): Equations Students complete a two round Sprint exercise where they practice their knowledge of solving linear equations in the form ππ₯ + π = π and π(π₯ + π) = π. Provide one minute for each round of the Sprint. Refer to the Sprints and Sprint Delivery Script sections in the Module Overview for directions to administer a Sprint. Be sure to provide any answers not completed by the students.
Example 1 (2 minutes) Review the descriptions of preserves the inequality symbol and reverses the inequality symbol with students. Example 1 Preserves the inequality symbol: means the inequality symbol stays the same. Reverses the inequality symbol: means the inequality symbol switches less than with greater than and less than or equal to with greater than or equal to.
Exploratory Challenge (20 minutes) Split students into four groups. Discuss the directions. There are four stations. Provide each station with two cubes containing integers. (Cube templates provided at the end of the document.) At each station, students record their results in their student materials. (An example is provided for each station.) MP.2 1. & MP.4 2.
Roll each die, recording the numbers under the first and third columns. Students are to write an inequality symbol that makes the statement true. Repeat this four times to complete the four rows in the table. Perform the operation indicated at the station (adding or subtracting a number, writing opposites, multiplying or dividing by a number), and write a new inequality statement.
3.
Determine if the inequality symbol is preserved or reversed when the operation is performed.
4.
Rotate to a new station after five minutes.

Discussion Summarize the findings and complete the lesson summary in the student materials. ο§
To summarize, when does an inequality change (reverse), and when does it stay the same (preserve)? οΊ
The inequality reverses when we multiply or divide the expressions on both sides of the inequality by a negative number. The inequality stays the same for all other cases.
Exercise (5 minutes) Exercise Complete the following chart using the given inequality, and determine an operation in which the inequality symbol is preserved and an operation in which the inequality symbol is reversed. Explain why this occurs. Solutions may vary. A sample student response is below.
Inequality
Operation and New Inequality Which Preserves the Inequality Symbol
π βπ β π βπ > βπ
βπ β€ π
Operation and New Inequality which Reverses the Inequality Symbol
Multiply both sides by βπ. βπ > βππ
Adding a number to both sides of an inequality preserves the inequality symbol. Multiplying a negative number to both sides of an inequality reverses the inequality symbol.
Divide both sides by βπ. ππ π
π
βπ + (βπ) < βπ β π
Explanation
Adding a number to both sides of an inequality preserves the inequality symbol. Multiplying a negative number to both sides of an inequality reverses the inequality symbol.
Closing (3 minutes) ο§
What does it mean for an inequality to be preserved? What does it mean for the inequality to be reversed? οΊ
When an operation is done to both sides and the inequality does not change, it is preserved. If the inequality does change, it is reversed. For example, less than would become greater than.

Lesson 12

When does a greater than become a less than? οΊ
When both sides are multiplied or divided by a negative, the inequality is reversed.
Lesson Summary When both sides of an inequality are added or subtracted by a number, the inequality symbol stays the same, and the inequality symbol is said to be preserved. When both sides of an inequality are multiplied or divided by a positive number, the inequality symbol stays the same, and the inequality symbol is said to be preserved. When both sides of an inequality are multiplied or divided by a negative number, the inequality symbol switches from < to > or from > to π(7)
c.
π(β4) = π(7)
Given the initial inequality 2 > β4, identify which operation preserves the inequality symbol and which operation reverses the inequality symbol. Write the new inequality after the operation is performed. a.
Multiply both sides by β2.
b.
Add β2 to both sides.
c.
Divide both sides by 2.
d.
Multiply both sides by β
e.
Subtract β3 from both sides.

2.
On a recent vacation to the Caribbean, Kay and Tony wanted to explore the ocean elements. One day they went in a submarine πππ feet below sea level. The second day they went scuba diving ππ feet below sea level. a.
Write an inequality comparing the submarineβs elevation and the scuba diving elevation. βπππ < βππ
b.
If they only were able to go one-fifth of the capable elevations, write a new inequality to show the elevations they actually achieved. βππ < βππ
c.
Was the inequality symbol preserved or reversed? Explain. The inequality symbol was preserved because the number that was multiplied to both sides was NOT negative.
