Inequalities

Introduction

Today in class we will be working on inequalities. We will be completing this WebQuest to build our knowledge. Let's get learning mathematicians! 

Task

You will be watching the following videos and answering the questions that go with them in class today. Answer the questions in a google doc that you will be sharing with me once you are done. Do your best and answer the questions to the best of your ability! 

Process

Below you will find the links for the videos. Make sure you are working on only one link and it's questions at a time! Take your time answering the questions, there is no need to rush. Let me know if you have any questions while working on this. You got this!
