Combining Transformation Of Graphs With Solutions To Absolute Value Inequalities, Ryan D. Fox Jun 2020

I present how transformations can be applied to support students’ solving linear inequalities involving absolute value. In particular, the horizontal dilations/compressions and translations of graphical representations of distances from zero along a number line are important tools to emphasize a visual representation of the solutions to absolute value inequalities.
