Overview:

In this interactive activity, students will be led through steps to tell temperature using a thermometer. There are teaching activities as well as practice activities available. There is a karaoke song with printable lyrics that will help students learn and review the strategies taught during the activity. After utilizing this resource, the students can complete the short quiz to assess their understanding.

Mathematics
MA2019 (2019)
Grade: 6
10. Locate integers and other rational numbers on a horizontal or vertical line diagram.

a. Define opposites as numbers located on opposite sides of 0 and the same distance from 0 on a number line.

b. Use rational numbers in real-world and mathematical situations, explaining the meaning of 0 in each situation.
Unpacked Content
Evidence Of Student Attainment:
Students:
  • Create and interpret number line diagram.
  • Given any rational number (positive or negative).
  • Locate the number on a number line.
  • Identify opposite signs of numbers as indicating the same distance from zero on the opposite side of zero, the opposite of the opposite, or a representation of its opposite as the point itself [-(-3) = 3], and zero as its own opposite.
Teacher Vocabulary:
  • Integers
  • Rational numbers
  • Horizontal line diagram
  • Vertical line diagram
Knowledge:
Students know:
  • Strategies for creating number line models of rational numbers (marking off equal lengths by estimation or recursive halving).
  • Strategies for locating numbers on a number line.
  • Notation for positive and negative numbers and zero.
Skills:
Students are able to:
  • Represent rational numbers and their opposites on a number line including both positive and negative quantities.
  • Explain and justify the creation of number lines and placement of rational numbers on a number line.
  • Explain the meaning of 0 in a variety of real-world contexts.
Understanding:
Students understand that:
  • Representing rational numbers on number lines requires using both a distance and a direction,
  • Locating numbers on a number line provides a representation of a mathematical context which aids in visualizing ideas and solving problems.
