Essential Understandings
Concrete:
- Given a number line count the distance between two points
- Identify the value of the number and the distance of that number from zero on a number line.
- Match the positive and the negative value of the same number on the number line.
- Given a situation identify coordinate points and count the distance between points (e.g., using the school campus, use specific directions to navigate from one point to another; use a tiled floor to navigate to another point).
- Identify absolute values of numbers.
- Understand the following concepts, symbols, and vocabulary: absolute value, zero, points.
- Calculate the absolute value of a difference between two numbers (for example, |-6 – 4| equals 10).

Cluster:
Apply and extend previous understandings of operations with fractions to add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers. (Major Cluster) : Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters. |
