What are the common mistakes in Inequalities on a Number line?

When a pupil makes one of these on Revision Workshop, the marking engine names the mistake and explains it, instead of just marking the answer wrong.

• Uses an open circle where a closed circle was needed on a number line, or vice versa

  Used a closed circle instead of a open one - $<$ excludes the boundary value -2

• Shades the wrong side of the line/curve on an inequality graph

  Shaded to the left instead of the right

• Marks only one bound of a compound inequality (e.g. 6 < x < 10) on a number line instead of both

  A compound inequality needs TWO circles (one at each bound) with the region between them shaded - not just one bound
