| Benchmarks (5 - 7) |
|
| A. | Represent and compare numbers less than 0 through familiar applications and extending the number line. |
| F. | Apply number system properties when performing computations. |
| I. | Use a variety of strategies, including proportional reasoning, to estimate, compute, solve and explain solutions to problems involving integers, fractions, decimals and percents. |
|
| Grade Level Indicators (Grade 5) |
|
| 6. | Represent and compare numbers less than 0 by extending the number line and using familiar applications; e.g., temperature, owing money. |
| 7. | Use commutative, associative, distributive, identity and inverse properties to simplify and perform computations. |
|
| Grade Level Indicators (Grade 6) |
|
| 7. | Use simple expressions involving integers to represent and solve problems; e.g., if a running back loses 15 yards on the first carry but gains 8 yards on the second carry, what is the net gain/loss? |
|
| Grade Level Indicators (Grade 7) |
|
| 4. | Use order of operations and properties to simplify numerical expressions involving integers, fractions and decimals. |
| 6. | Simplify numerical expressions involving integers and use integers to solve real-life problems. |
