Teaching suggestions to close the gapGrade 9 sub-skill: Ability to draw a number line (1 mark)
Inability to draw a number line and understand its use in solving linear inequalities leads to difficulties in identifying a solution-set when solving quadratic inequalities. Follow the two steps below to improve this skill:
Step 1: Cover basic number line concepts and explain the placement of negative and positive numbers in relation to zero. Explain various notations used on the number line.
Step 2: Advance to illustrating various sets of numbers on the number line, where the end points are included and/or excluded from the set. Learners should be able to interpret the graphical solution from the number line and describe the resulting number set.
