Good afternoon! I am trying to create a self checking activity where students practice graphing systems of inequalities - that emulate the graphing question type on the new STAAR test. I have found similar activities but not quite what I am looking for. I need students to graph two lines separately, decide on the line type for each, then click in the region they want to shade. I will appreciate any and all help I can get! Here’s what I have so far: > **[STAAR New Item Type - Graphing Systems of Inequalities • Activity by Leigh...](https://classroom.amplify.com/activity/63f5342479729a0337405d2c)** > > by Leigh Ann Mitchell I have also attached a picture of what it should look like on STAAR. ![Untitled drawing (43)](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/desmos/original/2X/2/20f6aaebd3bf350d587e209ff03b98a8853fa4af.jpeg) Thank you!!! ---

I think this does what you want. Test it out and see what you think. [system of inequalities tool • Activity Builder by Desmos](https://teacher.desmos.com/activitybuilder/custom/63f5b58fd7d30c97caa323d0) ---

That is EXACTLY what I wanted! How do I know what the region number is? I’m not sure how to read this: ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/desmos/original/2X/0/087c98c2faa8b2d7a57131303dc9e754e36922f2.png) Thank you!!! ---

I added in some labels that are only visible when you are editing the graph that show the region number. You can also move the s\_haded slider to see which region lights up. > **[system of inequalities tool • Activity Builder by Desmos](https://teacher.desmos.com/activitybuilder/custom/63f5b58fd7d30c97caa323d0)** > > by Daniel Wekselgreene ---

Hello! What should I delete out if I want to just check a single inequality? Or do I need to just start over? THANKS!!! ---

I added in a second screen with a single inequality. It works mostly the same, but I had to change it so that they need to click on the line itself to change the shaded side instead of the region. ---

This is great I will try to make it self check ---

Daniel, this is awesome template activity. we need to talk, I have to really good ideas and have developed some pretty good stuff, but I sure could use an individual to collaborate with. [cogonzalez@cvusd.us](mailto:cogonzalez@cvusd.us) ---

Sure - send me a message with what you’re thinking. You can message me here or on bluesky.
