Lesson Objectives

At the end of this lesson, students will be able to order rational numbers in a number line identifying an integer and its opposite.

Student Target

“ I can use integers to represent quantities in real-world situations and I can explain where zero fits into a situation represented by integers."

CCR Focus Standards
Number and Ratios - Level D
  • Understand ordering and absolute value of rational numbers.

Supporting Standards
  • 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.

Standards for Mathematical Practice
  • Model with mathematics. (MP.4)

  • Attend to precision. (MP.6)

  • Look for and make use of structure. (MP.7)

KYAE Employability Standards
  • E.6 Identify and effectively use skills and materials needed for a particular task.
