Inequalities: Flipping the sign

So my kids love the interactive notebook and were pouting that I didn't have some cool new foldable for this most recent unit.  The first reason being that one step and multi-step equations are practically the same methods for solving inequalities.  But I knew that I wanted to find something awesome to drive home when to flip the inequality sign.  After searching Google for at least three days, I found it!


Changing Image Tutorial  They include images for a tutorial on how to put it together and include a template.

I am slightly afraid my children with ADHD will be lost for the rest of the day as they make the sign flip, but at the same time they should be brainwashed by the time is all said and done.

This took a bit longer than anticipated, but the kids really enjoyed the final product.

  1. Okay. The pictures did not disappoint! I'm going to have to find a way to use this next year! Thanks for sharing!

  2. If I can get my box.com account to work, I will post an updated version of the template. The one on the site didn't quite work. And the kids had trouble drawing the inequality signs correctly. I love that lesson plans can be updated and inspired by the students.
