6th Grade Advanced Math Unit 1

Big Idea:

Classify, compare and order rational numbers (fractions, decimals and integers).

Student Expectations:

Priority TEKS

6.2(D) [Readiness] order a set of rational numbers arising from mathematical and real-world contexts

Focus TEKS

6.2(A) [Supporting] classify whole numbers, integers, and rational numbers using a visual representation such as a Venn diagram to describe relationships between sets of numbers

6.2(B) [Supporting] identify a number, its opposite, and its absolute value

6.2(C) [Supporting] locate, compare, and order integers and rational numbers using a number line

7.2(A) Number and operations. The student applies mathematical process standards to represent and use rational numbers in a variety of forms. The student is expected to extend previous knowledge of sets and subsets using a visual representation to describe relationships between sets of rational numbers.

Learning Targets:

• Model the relationship of rational numbers
• Identify and locate numbers and their opposites on a number line
• Identify the absolute value of rational numbers
• Organize sets and subsets of numbers

Essential Questions:

• What are rational numbers?
• What is the relationship between a number and its opposite?
• How do you compare rational numbers?
