More new worksheet generators... This one is for linear inequalities in one variable. http://www.homeschoolmath.net/worksheets/linear_inequalities.php The worksheets are customizable in many different ways. You can ask the student to plot simple inequalities, such as x < -6 or write an inequality from a graph. One problem type asks you to solve the given simple inequality in the given set, such as solve x + 1 > -2 in the set {-9, 3,5,8, -2, 10}. Then you can choose from six different types of linear inequalities to solve (such as one-step inequalities, two-step inequalities, or inequalities with variable on both sides). You can also restrict the inequalities to the ones where you don't need to multiply/divide by a negative number (which would reverse the sign of the inequality). These worksheets are meant for pre-algebra and algebra 1 (or grades 7-9).

She wrote them backwards at first. She is working out of her big sister's 1st grade workbook from Math Mammoth's Light Blue Series." The second place was a tie — I just couldn't decide. 2. A. First, school work upside down - quite creative! "Here is a pic of my son doing his Light Blue 4 work. I have the download version and printed and bound it in parts because he likes to move around a lot while he works." 2. B. From Amy (no description). I feel this also is a creative shot and shows students with a very happy disposition. 3. "My daughter loves to
