Financial Literacy and Inequalities

Mrs. Lopez introduces lesson 13 on solving inequalities. The lesson includes exercises on saving money, purchasing fair tickets, and managing airline baggage weight. Students learn to write and solve inequalities, generalize problems, and apply these concepts to real-life scenarios.
