What students practice
Students name positive, negative, and zero from situations, compare and order integers, and read horizontal and vertical number lines. They explain opposites, including that the opposite of the opposite of a number is the number itself. Later pages compare negative decimals and fractions, write statements of order, and use absolute value as distance from zero. The last practice page asks an order question and a size question about the same story.
What's inside
- p. 3
Positive, Negative, or Zero
Write an integer for each situation, then answer the last two questions.
- p. 4
Compare Integers
Write <, >, or = in each box, then answer the last two questions.
- p. 5
Vertical Number Lines
Write the number at each lettered point.
- p. 6
Plot Integers
Plot each number with a dot on its number line.
- p. 7
Order Integers
Write each set of numbers in the order asked.
- p. 8
Opposites
Answer each question about opposites.
- p. 9
Compare Rational Numbers
Compare each pair with <, >, or =, then put the last two sets in order.
- p. 10
Statements of Order
Write and read statements of order for each situation.
- p. 11
Absolute Value
Find each absolute value, then answer the questions.
- p. 12
Absolute Value Code
Find each answer in the bank, then write its letter.
- p. 13
Size or Order?
Answer both parts of each question.
- p. 14
Mixed Review
Solve each problem, then check your work.
Think: up is greater. Find what one tick is worth, then count ticks from 0.
Georgia standards covered
6.NR.3.1
Identify and compare integers and explain the meaning of zero based on multiple authentic situations.
In this packet: pages 3, 4, and 14. 6.NR.3.1 practice in all our packets
6.NR.3.2
Order and plot integers on a number line and use distance from zero to discover the connection between integers and their opposites.
In this packet: pages 5 to 7 and 14. 6.NR.3.2 practice in all our packets
6.NR.3.3
Recognize and explain that opposite signs of integers indicate locations on opposite sides of zero on the number line; recognize and explain that the opposite of the opposite of a number is the number itself.
In this packet: pages 8 and 14. 6.NR.3.3 practice in all our packets
6.NR.3.4
Write, interpret, and explain statements of order for rational numbers in authentic, mathematical situations. Compare rational numbers, including integers, using equality and inequality symbols.
In this packet: pages 4, 9, 10, and 14. 6.NR.3.4 practice in all our packets
6.NR.3.5
Explain the absolute value of a rational number as its distance from zero on the number line; interpret absolute value as distance for a positive or negative quantity in a relevant situation.
In this packet: pages 11, 12, and 14. 6.NR.3.5 practice in all our packets
6.NR.3.6
Distinguish comparisons of absolute value from statements about order.
In this packet: pages 13 and 14. 6.NR.3.6 practice in all our packets
Who it's for
Grade 6 classes on integers and absolute value. Comparing includes negative decimals and negative fractions. There are no operations on negative numbers anywhere in the packet.
