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.
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 →
