Rational Numbers Assessment

6.NS.C.7Common Core State Standards · Math · 6th Grade

Understand ordering and absolute value of rational numbers.

6.NS.C.7.aCommon Core State Standards · Math · 6th Grade

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.

Write, interpret, and explain statements of order for rational numbers in real-world contexts. For example, write -3 oC > -7 oC to express the fact that -3 oC is warmer than -7 oC.

6.NS.C.7.cCommon Core State Standards · Math · 6th Grade

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.

6.NS.C.7.dCommon Core State Standards · Math · 6th Grade

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.
