  • What Educators Are Saying

Students will practice solving one-step inequalities and recognizing their graphs with this “Triples” Activity. I created this activity as a twist on the classic task cards. Students can work on their own or in teams to complete the activity. There are 30 total cards. Once matched, there will be 10 sets of three cards, each with the same answer. One card is an addition/subtraction problem, one card is multiplication/division problem, and one card is the graph.

Once they have finished all the cards, I have them cut them out, staple their “triples”, and place them in a zip-lock bag for a classwork grade. I allow them to work directly on the card. Or, they can write on the back. A simple answer key is provided to ensure the cards are matched correctly.

This version includes operations with both positive and negative integers. For a version with positive integer operations only, click here.

Used this with my 7th and 8th grade pre-algebra students today, and they LOVED it! They kept saying how fun it was - it's so funny how just changing the format of their assignment slightly can completely change the way the students see it. This activity accomplished the same outcome that a plain worksheet would have, but it was spun in a way that made it much more engaging for them. Love these Triples Activities! :)

This activity was very engaging for my students! I took them to the library to work in groups at the big tables so we could spread out and collaborate. As my students found triples, I checked them, and then stapled the correct sets together. This allowed students to complete error analysis on their incorrect triples. This really helped them slow down and really think about when they needed to reverse the inequality and prompted a debate about when we are dividing by a negative. (Ex. in 3/-4, we divided by a negative, but in -3/4, we divided by a positive even though there is a negative in the problem) It took groups of 3 about 35 minutes to complete this project (some groups could have used more time due to their time management issues). Overall, this was a great activity!

—HANNAH R.

This was a perfect activity for my students in the spring! The only challenge for some was when the variable was on the right side of the inequality. My students are only just beginning to learn about graphing, but they caught on easily. I used it for distance learning in the spring so that it was somewhat self-checking for them. I look forward to using it in groups this year!
