Ordering Positive and Negative Integers
...
Subject Area: Mathematics (B.E.S.T.) | Grade Level: 6
Lesson Length: 1 hour
Keywords/Tags: Positive and Negative Numbers, Integers
Lesson Description: After this lesson students will be able to locate positive and negative integers on the number line and compare and order them using inequalities.

  • MA.6.GR.1.1 Extend previous understanding of the coordinate plane to plot rational number ordered pairs in all four quadrants and on both axes. Identify the x- or y-axis as the line of reflection when two ordered pairs have an opposite x- or y-coordinate.
  • MA.6.GR.1.2 Find distances between ordered pairs, limited to the same x-coordinate or the same y-coordinate, represented on the coordinate plane.
  • MA.6.GR.1.3 Solve mathematical and real-world problems by plotting points on a coordinate plane, including finding the perimeter or area of a rectangle.
  • MA.6.NSO.1.1 Extend previous understanding of numbers to define rational numbers. Plot, order and compare rational numbers.
  • MA.6.NSO.1.2 Given a mathematical or real-world context, represent quantities that have opposite direction using rational numbers. Compare them on a number line and explain the meaning of zero within its context.
  • MA.6.NSO.1.3 Given a mathematical or real-world context, interpret the absolute value of a number as the distance from zero on a number line. Find the absolute value of rational numbers.
  • MA.6.NSO.1.4 Solve mathematical and real-world problems involving absolute value, including the comparison of absolute value.
