Module 2Discussion Board

What are you supposed to do?

With each discussion board you are to explain IN YOUR OWN WORDS the answers to the given questions.

Please use complete sentences and be clear in your answer. You don’t have to use big or fancy words. Explain it to me the way you would in a math classroom.

The discussion board for module 2 is one that students don’t always understand what it is asking so I am going to walk you through what I am looking for.

What to do…

First open the word file and save it to your computer.

Question #1

This question show you 2 graphs and asked what the differences are between an equation an inequality

In your answer, just tell me how you can look at these 2 graphs and tell which one is an inequality and which one is an equation.

Yes, it is that simple.

Question #2

The question gives you 2 situations in ‘verbal form.’ It wants to know the differences between inequality and equality.

Here is what you need to answer, “When you have a word problem what tells you it is an equation? What tells you it is an inequality?”

What are the key words you see with each?

Question #3

This problem gives you 2 expressions in written form. What are the differences?

Don’t make this one hard. When you see these examples how do you know which one is an inequality and which one is an equation?

What is the key difference you see?
