The standard
Distinguish comparisons of absolute value from statements about order.
Element 6.NR.3.6 of Georgia's K-12 Mathematics Standards (2021, effective SY2023-24), in the Numerical Reasoning strand. It sits under standard 6.NR.3: Solve a variety of problems involving whole numbers and their opposites; model rational numbers on a number line to describe problems presented in relevant, mathematical situations.
What students practice
Each story asks an order question and then a size question, such as which balance is lower and which debt is larger. Pair items put a comparison of two numbers beside a comparison of their absolute values, and the two answers differ.
