Lab objectives and outcomes

Students will be able to identify the critical value and correct boundary type (open or closed circle) for a given linear inequality in one variable.
Students will be able to construct the accurate graphical representation of a linear inequality by placing the correct circle and shading the appropriate region on a number line.
Students will be able to differentiate between the graphical representations of strict inequalities (e.g., x < 3) and non-strict inequalities (e.g., x ≤ 3) on a number line.

Track learner progress

Run this simulation with a class and watch it happen: who started, who finished, and how long each learner took. Drill into a run to see what they actually did.

Group sessions

SimGenie acts as a built-in lab assistant. A learner who gets stuck can ask for a hint by voice, and it adapts its guidance to what they are doing in the scene.
