Shading Regions Examples
What is the resource?
This PDF focuses on representing inequalities as shaded areas on graphs. This skill is best for secondary school learners.
Why are shading regions important?
Inequalities often model real-life situations with various possible solutions:
- Acceptable ranges: Think of quality control – measurements within a 'good' range.
- Costs & budgets: You might graph price options that meet a maximum cost.
- Data comparison: Showing multiple restrictions at once is clearer on a graph.
