Solve complex, multi-step real-world problems combining fractions, decimals, signed numbers, exponents, and estimation.
Apply and extend the properties of addition and subtraction to rational numbers; interpret p - q as p + (-q), calculate the distance between rational numbers on a number line as |p - q|, and solve multi-step additive problems in real-world contexts.
Apply and extend multiplication and division to rational numbers (fractions, terminating/repeating decimals, and signed numbers) using properties of operations; understand that -(p/q) = (-p)/q = p/(-q) for non-zero divisors, and convert fractions to decimals using long division.
Perform numerical estimation, rounding to specified decimal places or significant figures, assess the reasonableness of calculation results, and use scientific notation to represent large and small quantities.
