from statements about order and apply to the number line. 5 > 3 real-world contexts. 5 is greater than 3 I can interpret absolute value as Performance Target magnitude for a positive or negative Case 2: One positive and one negative number quantity in a real-world situation. 3 > -3 positive 3 is greater than negative 3 I can distinguish comparisons of absolute negative 3 is less than positive 3 value by statements of order. Case 3: Two negative numbers I can understand that absolute value deals only with distance from zero. -3 > -5 negative 3 is greater than negative 5 negative 5 is less than negative 3 Continued on next page Comparative statements generate informal experience with operations and lay the foundation for formal work with operations on integers in grade 7. Example: One of the thermometers shows -3°C and the other shows -7°C. Which thermometer shows which temperature? Which is the colder temperature? How much colder? Write an inequality to show the relationship between the temperatures and explain how the model shows this relationship. Students recognize the distance from zero as the absolute value or magnitude of a rational number. Students need multiple experiences to understand the relationships between numbers, absolute value, and statements about order. Example: The Great Barrier Reef is the largest reef world’s system and is located off the coast of Australia. It
