Shira the Sheep

The purpose of this activity is for students to solve inequalities with both positive and negative coefficients. Students solve inequalities to program how Shira the Sheep moves. This activity explores what happens when an inequality contains a negative coefficient and one strategy for determining the direction of the inequality. Note: No sheep were harmed during the creation of this activity. Inspired by and with gratitude to Illustrative Mathematics and Open Up Resources. Download for free at https://openupresources.org.
