1.1 I can compare positive and negative rational numbers in various forms (fractions, decimals, standard, word, or short). 1.2 I can locate and graph all positive and negative rational numbers on a number line and coordinate grid. 6.1.1.1 6.1.1.2 | Pre-Assessments: Formative Assessments: Benchmark Assessment: | Student Background Knowledge: Understanding on how to graph two positive coordinates (ordered pairs). Understanding of the basic four math operations (adding, subtracting, dividing, and multiplying) Understanding of a number line. Essential Questions: What is an integer? What does absolute value mean? What is a coordinate grid? Academic Language: Adding Subtracting Multiplying Dividing Number Line Ordered Pairs | Cross-Content Integration: Social Studies - Coordinate grids in map activities Science - Negative and Positive temperatures and other measures | Web Resources: Video links posted on lesson plans Research: Technology Resources: Internet enabled device Calculators Community Resources: |
Content Specific Language:
Integers - The set of whole numbers and their opposites.
Negative Numbers - Numbers that are less than zero.
Positive Numbers - Numbers that are greater than zero.
Number Line - A line on which numbers are marked at intervals, used to illustrate simple numerical operations.
Expression - Numbers, symbols and operators (such as + or X) grouped together that show the value of something.
Equation - An equation says that two things are same, using the mathematical symbol =
Zero - An integer that is neither positive nor negative.
Absolute Value- Is the distance from zero a integers is when graphed on a number line.
Origin-The point where the x-axis and the y-axis intersect, (0,0).
Order of Operation- The order that you perform operations when there is more than one in an expression or equation. P – parentheses, E – exponents, MD - multiplication/division in order from left to right, AS - addition and subtraction in order from left to right.
Additive Inverse- Any number plus it’s opposite will always equal zero.
