With this worksheet generator, you can make customizable worksheets for linear inequalities in one variable. These worksheets are especially meant for pre-algebra and algebra 1 courses (grades 7-9).
There are NINE problem types. The first two have to do with plotting simple inequalities and writing an inequality from a number line graph. The third one asks the student to solve a given (easy) inequality in a given set.
The rest of the problem types have to do with different kinds of inequalities that range from simple to complex (such as one-step inequalities, two-step inequalities, inequalities with a variable on both sides or with parentheses). Optionally, you can require the student to plot the solution set on a number line.
You can also choose to exclude multiplication or division by a negative number, which reverses the sign of the inequality and is also the the most difficult operation for students to remember. This option is useful when teaching inequalities in the most simple, beginner level.
Each worksheet is randomly generated and thus unique. The answer key is automatically generated and is placed on the second page of the file.
You can generate the worksheets either in html or PDF format — both are easy to print. To get the PDF worksheet, simply push the button titled "Create PDF" or "Make PDF worksheet". To get the worksheet in html format, push the button "View in browser" or "Make html worksheet". This has the advantage that you can save the worksheet directly from your browser (choose File → Save) and then edit it in Word or other word processing program.
