Upon completion of Unit 2:
- 6.NS.C.6. Understand a rational number as a point on the number line. Extend number line diagrams and coordinate axes familiar from previous grades to represent points on the line and in the plane with negative number coordinates.
- 6.NS.C.6a. Recognize opposite signs of numbers as indicating locations on opposite sides of 0 on the number line; recognize that the opposite of the opposite of a number is the number itself, e.g., –(–3) = 3, and that 0 is its own opposite.
- 6.NS.C.7. Understand ordering and absolute value of rational numbers.
- 6.NS.C.7b. Write, interpret, and explain statements of order for rational numbers in real-world contexts.
- 6.NS.C.7c. Understand the absolute value of a rational number as its distance from 0 on the number line; interpret absolute value as magnitude for a positive or negative quantity in a real-world situation.
- 6.NS.C.7d. Distinguish comparisons of absolute value from statements about order.
