Level 5 Investigation In this investigation you will analyze the properties of inequalities and discover some interesting results. First we will act out operations on a number line in the front of the room. 1. Choose two walkers, one announcer and one recorder. Walker A stands in front of the room at position 2. Walker B stands in front of the room at position 4.The announcer asks the class what symbol should be put between the two numbers > or <. The recorder records the symbol. 2. The announcer tells the walkers what operation to use on their number. The walkers move to the appropriate location. The recorder records the new locations. The announcer asks the class what symbol should be put between the two numbers > or <. The recorder records the symbol. 3. Repeat step 2 for each operation in the table below. Operation Walker A s Position Inequality Symbol > or < Walker B s Position Starting # 2 4 Add 2 Subtract 3 Add - 2 Subtract - 4 Multiply by 2 Subtract 7 Multiply by - 3 Add 5 Divide by - 4 Subtract 2 Multiply by - 1 If you or by a negative number, the inequality symbol. 10
