About This Worksheet

This easy-level worksheet contains 12 problems designed for 6th Grade students practicing solving inequalities. Easy worksheets use simpler numbers and straightforward problem types to build confidence and reinforce foundational skills.

Inequalities describe a range of solutions, not just one. They model real-world constraints — budgets, minimum requirements, speed limits — and are a cornerstone of optimization problems in algebra and beyond.

  • Write inequalities using <, >, ≤, and ≥ symbols
  • Solve one-step inequalities using inverse operations
  • Graph solution sets of inequalities on a number line
  • Translate real-world constraints into inequality statements
  • Flip the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing both sides by a negative
