rational numbers, including negative numbers. In this unit,
students model addition and subtraction on the number line, and
through repeated reasoning and application of properties of
operations, they determine efficient rules for computing with
rational numbers. Students gain the ability to model a greater
scope of real-world contexts to include real-world situations, and
proportional relationships with negative rates of change. They also
develop greater fluency with evaluating numerical expressions,
using the properties of operations to increase their flexibility in
approach.
