Common Core Standards
6.NS.5-Understand that positive and negative numbers are used together to describe quantities having opposite directions or values (e.g., temperature above/below zero, elevation above/below sea level, credits/debits, positive/negative electric charge); use positive and negative numbers to represent quantities in real-world contexts, explaining the meaning of 0 in each situation.
6.NS.6-Understand a rational number as a point on the number line. Extend number line diagrams and coordinate axes familiar from previous grades to represent points on the line and in the plane with negative number coordinates.
6.NS.7-Understand ordering and absolute value of rational numbers.
6.NS.6-Understand a rational number as a point on the number line. Extend number line diagrams and coordinate axes familiar from previous grades to represent points on the line and in the plane with negative number coordinates.
- a. Recognize opposite signs of numbers as indicating locations on opposite sides of 0 on the number line; recognize that the opposite of the opposite of a number is the number itself, e.g., - (-3) = 3, and that 0 is its own opposite.
- c. Find and position integers and other rational numbers on a horizontal or vertical number line diagram; find and position pairs of integers and other rational numbers on a coordinate plane.
6.NS.7-Understand ordering and absolute value of rational numbers.
- a. Interpret statements of inequality as statements about the relative position of two numbers on a number line. For example, interpret -3 >; -7 as a statement that -3 is located to the right of -7 on a number line oriented from left to right.
- b. Write, interpret, and explain statements of order for rational numbers in real-world contexts. For example, write -3oC >; -7oC to express the fact that -3oC is warmer than -7oC.
- c. Understand the absolute value of a rational number as its distance from 0 on the number line; interpret absolute as magnitude for a positive or negative quantity in a real-world situation. For example, for an account balance of -30 dollars, write |-30| = 30 to describe the size of the debt in dollars.
- d. Distinguish comparisons of absolute value from statements about order. For example, recognize that an account balance less than -30 dollars represent a debt greater than 30 dollars.
