About this worksheet

What students practice

Students write inequalities to represent strict temperature and rainfall limits.
Students graph inequalities on number lines and identify values that satisfy them.
Students explain why inequalities can have infinitely many solutions.

How to use

Use after introducing inequality symbols and open endpoints. Have students label graph boundaries and draw arrows, then discuss why decimal readings also count as solutions.

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.

Weather Station Alert Limits

Model temperature and rainfall limits with inequalities and graphs.

Set the Alerts

Choose or match the inequality for each rule. Temperatures are in degrees Celsius; rainfall amounts are in millimeters. A strict limit does not include its boundary.

A weather station sends a heat alert when the temperature is above 31°C. Let x be the temperature in degrees Celsius. Which inequality represents the alert rule?

A. x = 31
B. x > 31
C. x < 31
D. x > 32

The station flags temperatures lower than −4°C for a cold-weather report. Let x be the temperature in degrees Celsius. Which inequality represents this rule?

A. x = −4
B. x < 4
C. x < −4
D. x > −4

A rainfall report labels a day as heavy rain when the total exceeds 18.5 mm. Let x be the day's rainfall in millimeters. Which inequality represents heavy rain?
