M.6.Q.NS.7
Understand ordering and absolute value of positive and negative rational numbers.
- a.Interpret statements of inequality as statements about the relative position of two numbers on a number line diagram.
- b.Write, interpret, and explain order for rational numbers on a number line in real-world contexts, including the use of inequalities.
- c.Interpret absolute value as the distance a number is from zero on a number line, and understand the magnitude of absolute value in real world contexts like comparing temperatures, or understanding the size of a debt. 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.
