U2 Distance and Direction
NS.5 & NS.6a & NS.7c
How to make a number line with a minimum of -10 and a maximum of 10 -- and zero in the middle
* Pro tip: if you have a piece of lined paper, rotate it 90 degrees so that the lines are vertical
1. Draw a horizontal or vertical line (use a ruler or straightedge)
2. Add arrows: Place arrows on both ends of the line to show it continues infinitely in both directions.
3. Add tick marks (space them equally, ensure the distance between each tick mark is the same)
4. Write numbers along the line (whether you are numbering by 1s or 2s or 3s, always use the same intervals)
Note: zero does not always have to be on a number line. Whether or not to include 0 depends on the numbers you are working with.
Absolute value: a number's distance from zero on the number line (distance is always positive)
The "opposite" of a number is another number that is the same distance from zero on a number line but on the opposite side of zero
Let's look at some real-life situations, work together to figure out what number is represented, place the number on a number line, and apply our new vocabulary.
(Glue this into your notebook when finished)
Instead of asking, "How far is a number from zero?", mathematicians use two vertical bars, like this: |-3|
|-3| is the same thing as asking, "What is the absolute value of -3?" Or, "How far is -3 from zero?"
What is the opposite of -25?
What is the opposite of 14?

B. |-12|
* If you have time, sketch a number line to prove your answers are correct.
-3 can be read two ways: "the opposite of 3" or "negative 3"
The opposite of the opposite of a number is the number itself, e.g., –(–3) = 3,
* If we go to Starbucks and you borrow $5. What kind of number is that? Now imagine the next day I say to you, "I took away your debt." What does that mean?
|0| = 0
0 is its own opposite
On a number line showing a drive from San Francisco to Los Angeles, a landmark in San Jose would be a dot at approximately 50 miles, while a landmark near Bakersfield might be a dot at 250 miles.
We could use these two dots on the number line to answer the question, "What is the distance between Gilroy and Bakersfield on this number line?"
Draw a line with arrows. If I want to put 50 and 250 on it, do I need negative numbers? Do I need 0? What do I need? Next, change the numbers to 4 and 9. Ask, what numbers do I need? Show starting with 4, numbering by 1s up to 9. Then ask the distance and have students share both ways.
To foreshadow, write: d =
There are two houses, one on 15 and one on 8. Graph the numbers on a number line. Then find the distance between the two whole numbers.
There are two houses, one on 36 and one on 45. Graph the numbers on a number line. Then find the distance between the two integers.
There are two houses, one on 3 and one on -5. Graph the numbers on a number line. Then find the distance between the two integers.
Graph 7 and -2 on a number line. Then find the distance between the two integers.
Graph -1 and -4 on a number line. Then find the distance between the two integers.
Graph -15 and -24 on a number line. Then find the distance between the two integers.
Graph -92 and -103 on a number line. Then find the distance between the two integers.
There are two ways to find the distance between two numbers (a and b)
One way:
Make a number line and count the number of spaces between the two points (a and b)
* Pro tip: only make a number line for the numbers you are graphing. When you can, go by 1's (makes it easier to count)
Another way:
1. Subtract one number from the other (find the difference). You can subtract a from b, or b from a; the order doesn't matter.
2. Find the absolute value of the difference
Do the following two problems in your notebook:
1. Graph 15 and 8 on a number line. Then find the distance (d) between the two whole numbers.
2. Graph 3 and -5 on a number line. Then find the distance (d) between the two whole numbers.
To find distance:
We can count spaces (always works)
Subtract and find the absolute value of the difference of the two numbers (always works)
Adding the absolute value of the two numbers works SOMETIMES but not always... so be careful if you want to use this

If your number line doesn't have the number you graphed, write the number above or below the dot
Sketch the number line. Then graph each of the three rational numbers:
Student solutions:
All 'rational numbers' can be represented by a point on a number line.
Rational number: any number that can be written as a fraction (ratio) -- denominator is not zero
Integer: a whole number that can be positive, negative, or zero. Examples include -3, 0, and 7.

NS.7 a, b & d
In life we say words like "Less than" or "More than" and at some point, some smart math person said, "Let's save some time and replace those words with symbols." And in addition to being able to use these symbols to compare things, now people use them when doing math, writing code, and more.
3.6 oz > weight of a letter (to mail)
spending < income
15 > 2
And we can use what we learned about number lines to prove it!
Dismiss them having them say to each other, "The bigger number is always on the right."
Inequalities are symbols that are use to compare numbers.
Less than uses the symbol <
Greater than uses the symbol >
* When comparing numbers, use a number line to show your thinking and prove your answer
* The number on the right (on a number line) is ALWAYS the bigger number

Start 1:22. Stop at 4:40 (before learning how to plot). B. Start again at 6:38-8:25 for how to plot an ordered pair. C. Continue until 10:13 for information on the four quadrants.
The coordinate plane is made up of an X and Y-axis
The X-axis is a horizontal number line.
The Y-axis is a vertical number line.
The X and Y-axis cross at the origin (0,0)
An ordered pair (x, y) is an 'address' on the coordinate plane.
To graph a point on the coordinate plane:
1. Start at the origin (0,0)
2. Move left or right on the X-axis (depending on whether the x value is positive or negative). Stop when you are on the x-value.
3. Next, move up or down (depending on whether the y value is positive or negative). Stop when you are on the y value and make a dot.
Graph and label the ordered pairs:
A: (4, -1)
B: (2, 3)
C: (-3, 2)
The two axes create four quadrants that are numbered with Roman Numerals -- counterclockwise.
The signs of the rational numbers in an ordered pair tell you which quadrant the point will be located in:
(1, 1) is in QI; (-1, 1) is in QII; (-1, -1) is in QIII; (1, -1) is in QIV

Unit 2 Test is Monday 9/29
Entry Tickets vs. Tests
Entry tickets (Formative Assessments) are given after studying a learning target. They provide feedback and help you know if your learning strategies are working. They are an opportunity to know where you are before you take a test. Entry tickets get replaced by tests. They do not stay in the gradebook.
Test results (Summative Assessments) replace your entry ticket scores.
* One of the most valuable things you can do before Friday's test is to look at PowerSchool's Unit 2 Formative Assessment scores. For those Unit 2 Scores < 3, spend extra time reviewing the notes, CYUQs, etc.
Distance: an amount of space between two things
Direction: a course along which someone or something moves

Check PowerSchool to see the proficiency level your work demonstrated.
Why, How, and What
In order to make sense of the world (DI1), students will model with mathematics (SMP4), attend to precision (SMP6), and construct viable arguments and critiquing the reasoning of others (SMP3) while discovering shape and space (CC4)
Grade Six Content Standards
Students experience absolute value on number lines and relate it to distance, describing relationships, such as order between numbers using inequality statements. (p34)
NS5. 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.
NS6 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 line and in the plane with negative number coordinates.
a. Recognize opposite signs of numbers as indicating locations on opposite sides of 0 on the 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.
b. Understand signs of numbers in ordered pairs as indicating locations in quadrants of the coordinate plane; recognize that when two ordered pairs differ only by signs, the locations of the points are related by reflections across one or both axes.
c. Find and position integers and other rational numbers on a horizontal or vertical number line diagram; find and position pairs of integers and other rational numbers on a coordinate plane.
NS7. Understand ordering and absolute value of rational numbers. a. 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. b. 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. c. 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. d. 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.
NS8. Solve real-world and mathematical problems by graphing points in all four quadrants of the coordinate plane. Include use of coordinates and absolute value to find distances between points with the same first coordinate or the same second coordinate.
G3. Draw polygons in the coordinate plane given coordinates for the vertices; use coordinates to find the length of a side joining points with the same first coordinate or the same second coordinate. Apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.
Planning
Foreshadows order of operations (absolute value and starting with grouping symbols), using a variable to represent a number (T1 glueable, T2 d=), ratios and double number lines (T4 comparing fractions)
(T1) Opposite of the opposite -(-3) is critical for 7th grade, subtracting integers and simply knowing how to read the subtraction sign in a different way. (*Must continue to do this in 6th grade when working on simple addition problems)
NS.5 & NS.6a & NS.7c
How to make a number line with a minimum of -10 and a maximum of 10 -- and zero in the middle
* Pro tip: if you have a piece of lined paper, rotate it 90 degrees so that the lines are vertical
1. Draw a horizontal or vertical line (use a ruler or straightedge)
2. Add arrows: Place arrows on both ends of the line to show it continues infinitely in both directions.
3. Add tick marks (space them equally, ensure the distance between each tick mark is the same)
4. Write numbers along the line (whether you are numbering by 1s or 2s or 3s, always use the same intervals)
Note: zero does not always have to be on a number line. Whether or not to include 0 depends on the numbers you are working with.
Absolute value: a number's distance from zero on the number line (distance is always positive)
The "opposite" of a number is another number that is the same distance from zero on a number line but on the opposite side of zero
Let's look at some real-life situations, work together to figure out what number is represented, place the number on a number line, and apply our new vocabulary.
(Glue this into your notebook when finished)
Instead of asking, "How far is a number from zero?", mathematicians use two vertical bars, like this: |-3|
|-3| is the same thing as asking, "What is the absolute value of -3?" Or, "How far is -3 from zero?"
What is the opposite of -25?
What is the opposite of 14?

* If you have time, sketch a number line to prove your answers are correct.
-3 can be read two ways: "the opposite of 3" or "negative 3"
The opposite of the opposite of a number is the number itself, e.g., –(–3) = 3,
* If we go to Starbucks and you borrow $5. What kind of number is that? Now imagine the next day I say to you, "I took away your debt." What does that mean?
|0| = 0
0 is its own opposite
On a number line showing a drive from San Francisco to Los Angeles, a landmark in San Jose would be a dot at approximately 50 miles, while a landmark near Bakersfield might be a dot at 250 miles.
We could use these two dots on the number line to answer the question, "What is the distance between Gilroy and Bakersfield on this number line?"
Draw a line with arrows. If I want to put 50 and 250 on it, do I need negative numbers? Do I need 0? What do I need? Next, change the numbers to 4 and 9. Ask, what numbers do I need? Show starting with 4, numbering by 1s up to 9. Then ask the distance and have students share both ways.
To foreshadow, write: d =
There are two houses, one on 15 and one on 8. Graph the numbers on a number line. Then find the distance between the two whole numbers.
There are two houses, one on 36 and one on 45. Graph the numbers on a number line. Then find the distance between the two integers.
There are two houses, one on 3 and one on -5. Graph the numbers on a number line. Then find the distance between the two integers.
Graph 7 and -2 on a number line. Then find the distance between the two integers.
Graph -1 and -4 on a number line. Then find the distance between the two integers.
Graph -15 and -24 on a number line. Then find the distance between the two integers.
Graph -92 and -103 on a number line. Then find the distance between the two integers.
There are two ways to find the distance between two numbers (a and b)
One way:
Make a number line and count the number of spaces between the two points (a and b)
* Pro tip: only make a number line for the numbers you are graphing. When you can, go by 1's (makes it easier to count)
Another way:
1. Subtract one number from the other (find the difference). You can subtract a from b, or b from a; the order doesn't matter.
2. Find the absolute value of the difference
Do the following two problems in your notebook:
1. Graph 15 and 8 on a number line. Then find the distance (d) between the two whole numbers.
2. Graph 3 and -5 on a number line. Then find the distance (d) between the two whole numbers.
To find distance:
We can count spaces (always works)
Subtract and find the absolute value of the difference of the two numbers (always works)
Adding the absolute value of the two numbers works SOMETIMES but not always... so be careful if you want to use this

Sketch the number line. Then graph each of the three rational numbers:
Student solutions:
All 'rational numbers' can be represented by a point on a number line.
Rational number: any number that can be written as a fraction (ratio) -- denominator is not zero
Integer: a whole number that can be positive, negative, or zero. Examples include -3, 0, and 7.

When you're working on the whiteboards in random groups, you want to be in the right column of our rubric.
Starting today, I will be evaluating you using this rubric and entering a grade in PowerSchool

* Please fold this in half and glue it into your notebook. It's okay that some questions will be glued.
NS.7 a, b & d
In life we say words like "Less than" or "More than" and at some point, some smart math person said, "Let's save some time and replace those words with symbols." And in addition to being able to use these symbols to compare things, now people use them when doing math, writing code, and more.
3.6 oz > weight of a letter (to mail)
spending < income
15 > 2
And we can use what we learned about number lines to prove it!
Dismiss them having them say to each other, "The bigger number is always on the right."
Inequalities are symbols that are use to compare numbers.
Less than uses the symbol <
Greater than uses the symbol >
* When comparing numbers, use a number line to show your thinking and prove your answer
* The number on the right (on a number line) is ALWAYS the bigger number

Trade your CYUqs for a retake.
If unprepared, open PowerSchool and review your progress. If you have a goal that is less than 3, do the CYUqs (at a level 3) and prepare for retaking. When ready, trade me. Repeat this process until your goals are all 3's or better.
If your goals are all 3's or better OR you are done retaking, practice and review the math we are currently working on by signing into Delta Math > click Login > Sign in with Google > with your school Google Account > Fractions on the Number Line
After completing the Check-your-understanding Questions, which were important for everyone to do?
Start 1:22. Stop at 4:40 (before learning how to plot). B. Start again at 6:38-8:25 for how to plot an ordered pair. C. Continue until 10:13 for information on the four quadrants.
The coordinate plane is made up of an X and Y-axis
The X-axis is a horizontal number line.
The Y-axis is a vertical number line.
The X and Y-axis cross at the origin (0,0)
An ordered pair (x, y) is an 'address' on the coordinate plane.
To graph a point on the coordinate plane:
1. Start at the origin (0,0)
2. Move left or right on the X-axis (depending on whether the x value is positive or negative). Stop when you are on the x-value.
3. Next, move up or down (depending on whether the y value is positive or negative). Stop when you are on the y value and make a dot.
Graph and label the ordered pairs:
A: (4, -1)
B: (2, 3)
C: (-3, 2)
The two axes create four quadrants that are numbered with Roman Numerals -- counterclockwise.
The signs of the rational numbers in an ordered pair tell you which quadrant the point will be located in:
(1, 1) is in QI; (-1, 1) is in QII; (-1, -1) is in QIII; (1, -1) is in QIV

Unit 2 Test is Monday 9/29
Entry Tickets vs. Tests
Entry tickets (Formative Assessments) are given after studying a learning target. They provide feedback and help you know if your learning strategies are working. They are an opportunity to know where you are before you take a test. Entry tickets get replaced by tests. They do not stay in the gradebook.
Test results (Summative Assessments) replace your entry ticket scores.
* One of the most valuable things you can do before Friday's test is to look at PowerSchool's Unit 2 Formative Assessment scores. For those Unit 2 Scores < 3, spend extra time reviewing the notes, CYUQs, etc.
Distance: an amount of space between two things
Direction: a course along which someone or something moves
