Number Systems and Operations
The second unit we will be covering this year is on Integers and Rational Numbers. This unit ties into the 7th Grade Common Core Math Standards.
During the unit, students will apply and extend previous understandings of operations with integers, decimals, and fractions to add, subtract, multiply and divide rational numbers.
More specifically, students will be able to apply operations to positive and negative integers and positive and negative rational numbers (fractions, decimals). They will also be able to identify if a value is rational or not using its decimal representation and find the distance between two rational numbers using absolute value. At the end of the unit, we will be working on adding, subtracting, and factoring algebraic expressions building on previous knowledge of collecting like terms.
