ABSOLUTE VALUE INEQUALITIES - practice problems classified into 2 types (2 WS)

This resource contains total of 16 problems. Students will practice solving absolute value inequalities. Problems of various difficulty are classified into 2 different types:

⟐ The first worksheet has the students solving 8 inequalities of type |ax+b|<c and |ax+b|<=c, where c>0. Students solve each inequality, graph its solutions and express the graph using interval notation.

⟐ The second worksheet is finding the solution sets of each of 8 absolute value inequalities of type |ax+b|>c and |ax+b|>=c, where c>0. Students are asked to solve each inequality, graph its solutions and express the graph using interval notation.

The worksheets can be used in class for cooperative learning, for an extra independent practice, an assessment or homework assignment. It can be also used as a partner activity – like:

⟡ Partner A will solve WS #1 while Partner B solves WS # 2, then they swap papers and

Partner A will solve WS #2 while Partner B solves WS #1. Once they have completed the work, they compare their results. If there are different answers to one and the same problem, students have to identify and correct any errors.

Answer keys are included.
