Worksheet directions

Grade 6 • Review • Choose a strategy for each problem. Explain or check your thinking where requested.

Sample questions

1. A student marks a filled point at 3 for x > 3. Explain the mistake. Does the solution set contain only whole numbers?
2. A parcel must have mass greater than 6 kilograms. Write an inequality for mass m, draw its solution set, and state whether 6 is allowed.
3. Write an inequality meaning “the time t is strictly less than 5 minutes.” Give a fractional solution and explain why a single answer does not describe the whole solution set.
4. A parcel must have mass greater than 5 kilograms. Write an inequality for mass m, draw its solution set, and state whether 5 is allowed.
5. Write the inequality represented by the number line. Give two solutions and one number that is not a solution.
