MA19.6.13

Compare and order rational numbers and absolute value of rational numbers with and without a number line in order to solve real-world and mathematical problems.

Unpacked Content

Knowledge

Students know:
  • How to use and interpret inequality notation with rational numbers and absolute value.
  • Strategies for comparing and ordering rational numbers and the absolute value of rational numbers with and without a number line in order to solve real-world and mathematical problems.

Skills

Students are able to:
  • Use mathematical language to communicate the relationship between verbal representations of inequalities and the related number line and algebraic models.
  • Distinguish comparisons of the absolute value of positive and negative rational numbers from statements about order.
  • Use number line models to explain absolute value concepts in order to solve real-world and mathematical problems.

Understanding

Students understand that:
  • The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on a number line regardless of direction,
  • When using number lines to compare quantities those to the left are less than those to the right.

Vocabulary

  • Absolute Value
  • Inequalities
