About this worksheet

What students practice

  • Students write inequalities to represent strict limits on swimming practice times and lap counts.
  • Students graph inequalities on number lines and identify values that satisfy them.
  • Students explain why a time inequality can have infinitely many solutions.

How to use

Use after introducing inequality symbols and open endpoints. Have students draw arrows on the graphing items and discuss why measured times differ from whole-lap counts.

Curriculum

Common Core standard covered

6.EE.B.8

Write inequalities like x > c or x < c for real-world limits, see they have infinitely many solutions, and graph them.

Swim Practice: Times, Laps, and Limits

Model practice limits with inequalities and graph their solutions.

Write the Practice Limits

Choose or complete each inequality. A strict limit does not include the boundary value.

1.
The swim team reserves less than 48 minutes for its main practice set. Let x be the time for that set, in minutes. Which inequality represents the limit?
  • A. x = 48
  • B. x < 47
  • C. x < 48
  • D. x > 48
2.
Amira's endurance goal is to complete more than 26 whole laps. Let x be the number of whole laps she completes.

Complete the inequality: x >  .

3.
Eli wants his time for a practice swim to be below 1 3/4 minutes. Let x be his time, in minutes. Which inequality represents his goal?
  • A. x > 1 3/4
  • B. x < 1 3/4
  • C. x < 3/4
  • D. x = 1 3/4
