Students are asked to interpret an inequality relating two temperatures.

Students are asked to identify a number’s possible locations on a number line when given the number’s absolute value.

Students are asked to write integers to represent quantities given in context and to relate the integers with an inequality.

Students are asked to describe the positions of numbers relative to each other on a number line.

Students are asked to compare two elevations and their absolute values and then interpret these comparisons within a given real-world context.

This lesson aligns to the Mathematics Formative Assessment System (MFAS) Task Submarines (CPALMS Resource ID# ). In this lesson, students with similar instructional needs are grouped according to MFAS rubric levels: Getting Started, Moving Forward, Almost There, and Got It. Students in each group complete an exercise designed to move them toward a better understanding of the ordering of rational numbers.

Students will review how to graph positive numbers and then negative numbers on a number line. The students will review absolute value and apply this to different integers. They will then play a fun game to check their understanding.

The purpose of this task is to help students interpret signed numbers in a context as a magnitude and a direction and to make sense of the absolute value of a signed number as its magnitude. The questions about the elevation of New Orleans are fairly natural: it is a standard convention to use positive numbers to represent elevations above sea level and negative numbers below sea level. However, it is possible to represent them the other way around.

The purpose of the task is for students to compare signed numbers in a real-world context.

The purpose of this task is to help students get a better understanding of fractions on a number line.

The purpose of this task is for students to get a better understanding of the relative positions and values of positive and negative numbers.

This purpose of this task is to help students understand the absolute value of a number as its distance from 0 on the number line. The context is not realistic, nor is meant to be; it is a thought experiment to help students focus on the relative position of numbers on the number line.

Let's order negative numbers from least to greatest in this video.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to order rational numbers using a number line.

In this tutorial you will compare the absolute value of numbers using the concepts of greater than (>), less than (<), and equal to (=).

This video demonstrates sorting values including absolute value from least to greatest using a number line.

This video demonstrates solving absolute value inequality statements.

This video is about interpreting absolute value in a real-life situation.

Number systems evolved from the natural "counting" numbers, to whole numbers (with the addition of zero), to integers (with the addition of negative numbers), and beyond. These number systems are easily understood using the number line.

The video demonstrates rewriting given numbers in a common format (as decimals), so they can be compared and ordered.
