Example of visual learner vs. verbal learner and inequality:

3 < x

Yours truly needs to say "if three is less than x, then x must be more than three" and plot accordingly.

Hers truly, however, can "see" three being on the less side of x and just draw that bad boy.

Point being that had I tossed extra verbiage with an explanation, it would have made something "simple" to her more confusing... but if it were another student, that would be necessary.
