Self check

After completing the exercises, use this checklist to evaluate your mastery of the objectives of this section.

This is a table that has six rows and four columns. In the first row, which is a header row, the cells read from left to right: “I can…,” “confidently,” “with some help,” and “no-I don’t get it!” The first column below “I can…” reads “graph inequalities on the number line,” “solve inequalitites using the Subtraction and Addition Properties of Inequality,” “solve inequalitites using the Division and Multiplication Properties of Inequality,” “solve inequalities that require simplification,” and “translate to an inequality and solve.” The rest of the cells are blank.

What does this checklist tell you about your mastery of this section? What steps will you take to improve?
