6.EE.B.8

Write an inequality of the form x > c or x < c to represent a constraint or condition in a real-world or mathematical problem. Recognize that inequalities of the form x > c or x < c have infinitely many solutions; represent solutions of such inequalities on number line diagrams.

Cluster 6.EE.BReason about and solve one-variable equations and inequalities.

Where this sits in the school year

Our Grade 6 Math scope and sequence teaches 6.EE.B.8 in Unit 8: Equations & Inequalities, weeks 21–23.

Solutions as truth-makers, variables as unknowns, solving x + p = q and px = q, and inequalities with infinitely many solutions. See the full pacing guide →
