Solving Inequalities with Cryptic Cubes

 

 

Cryptic Cubes are a good way to relieve some of the monotony associated with drill and practice.


 


Below you will find a sample set of cubes which could be used with your class for practice on solving equations and inequalities.

For more information on making cryptic cubes, see the "Cryptic Cubes" page under Teacher Resources on the Math A homepage.

 

Make, or have your students make, sets of 3 cubes like the ones below.

 

x + 7

2x - 3

4x - 1

2(x + 4)

5 - 2x

x - 3

 

 

4(2 - x)

5x - 3

3x - 5

8 - x

3(x + 1)

-5

 

You can pair students up and have them work as partners or have them work individually.
