=Grade 6 Domain 2: The Number System= =Cluster 3: Apply and extend previous understandings of numbers to the system of rational numbers.=

===5. 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.===

===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 number line and in the plane with negative number coordinates.===

Problems:

Activities:
 * Give students a graph of Quadrant I with extra room. Ask them to graph points with negative coordinates, without telling them how.

===6a. Recognize opposite signs of numbers as indicating locations on opposite sides of a 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.===

===6b. Understand signs of numbers in ordered pairs as indicating locations in quadrants of the coordinate plane; recognizing that when two ordered pairs differ only by signs, the locations of the points are related by reflections across one or both axes.===

===7a. Interpret statements of inequality as statements about the relative position of two numbers on a number line diagram. //For example, interpret -3 > -7 as a statement that -3 is located to the right of -7 on a number line oriented from left to right.//===

7b. Write, interpret, and explain statements of order for rational numbers in real-world contexts. //For example, write -3//°//C > -7//°//C to express the fact that -3//°//C is warmer than -7//°//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. //For example, for an account balance of -30 dollars, write |-30| = 30 to describe the size of the debt in dollars.//===

7d. Distinguish comparisons of absolute value from statements about order. //For example, recognize that an account balance less than -30 dollars represents a debt greater than 30 dollars.//
