Gladys: It's not uncommon for students to confuse expressions and inequalities. Facilitate a classroom discussion to address their differences and strategies for correctly identifying them.

Kevin: Note that this standard does not call for students to formally solve inequalities and equations. They are learning what a solution is and that solving means finding solutions.

Megan: If the opportunity arises, plant the seed in students' minds that there are equa-tions and inequalities that have no solution. They will face this formally in future grades.

SAY CHEESE!How much should Farmer Jean charge for her goat cheese?Farmer Jean and her cute little goats make and sell tasty goat cheese. Farmer Jean wants to keep the price low so many people can enjoy the cheese, yet needs to make enough to cover the weekly farm expenses.

Inequalities help her determine the perfect cost for her cheese. (The goats think they help, too.) Farmer Jean is considering several diff erent price options.

Use the information in her notebook to determine which price is best.

6.EE.B.5

Understand solving an equation or inequality as a process of answering a question: which values from a specifi ed set, if any, make the equation or inequality true? Use substitution to determine whether a given number in a specifi ed set makes an equation or inequality true.

How might this standard appear on a test?

Iliana spent $180 on clothes for school. She bought a pair of jeans for $72 and spent the rest on t-shirts. Each t-shirt costs $12. This equation represents Iliana’s spending for the day:

Did Iliana buy 7, 8, 9, or 10 shirts?

72 + 12x = 180; x = number of t-shirts
