Assessment Target Type:

Knowledge

 

Learning Objectives

Before

In this module

After

Students understand whole numbers, fractions, and decimals:

      compare and order whole numbers

      compare and order fractions

      compare and order decimals

Students recognize, order, and perform computations with integers:

      identify a number and its opposite

      compare and order integers using a number line

      find the absolute value of a number

Students will connect whole numbers and integers:

      locate, compare, and order integers using a number line

      perform operations with integers

 

Process Standards

6.1.D: communicate mathematical ideas, reasoning, and their implications using multiple representations, including symbols, diagrams, graphs, and language as appropriate.

Students use number lines to represent the integers and opposites that are described with language and/or numbers with or without negative symbols. In this way, students are able to make the connections between and become fluent in using the different representations of integers and their opposites.

Lesson Notes

On a number line, opposites are the same distance from 0 but on different sides of 0. For example, 3 and -3 are opposites. Zero is its own opposite. For any real number a, its opposite is written -a.

The opposite of a number is also called its additive inverse. This is because the sum of any real number and its opposite is 0. That is, for any real number a, a + (-a) = 0. This property is known as the Additive Inverse Property.

The opposite of any positive number is negative, and the opposite of any negative number is positive. The sum of a number and its opposite is zero, which is neither positive nor negative.

An integer’s distance from zero is said to be non-negative instead of positive. When a distance measurement includes a negative symbol, the symbol describes the direction rather than the distance.

 

1.1 Opposites and Integers

·         TEK 6.2(B) is to include “identify a number,” however this is NOT included in Go Math

o    Teacher needs to include these concepts when teaching this lesson

o    Vocabulary words representing “positive” and “negative” need to be covered and reinforced

o    Be sure to also include vertical number lines

 

Guiding Questions

Guiding Questions & Enduring Understanding

      How do you identify an integer and its opposite?

Look for numbers that are the same distance from zero and on opposite sides of zero on the number line; for example, -4 and 4.

      How do you find the opposite of an integer?

The opposite of an integer is the integer the same distance from zero on the other side of 0. If the integer is 5, then the opposite is -5. If the integer is -3, then the opposite is 3.

 

Procedure

Day 1

DIAGNOSTIC ASSESSMENT:

    Have students complete the diagnostic assessment (answers) to determine whether they have the prerequisite skills for Module 1. Use the assessment to determine if students need intensive or strategic intervention for the module’s prerequisite skills.

 

Explore Activity-1 (10 minutes):

Motivate the Lesson: What is the coldest weather you have ever experienced? Have you ever experienced a temperature that is below zero? How do you write a temperature that is below zero? Begin the Explore Activity to find out.

Modeling: Point out to students that the number line is presented horizontally, but for elevation it is useful to think of it vertically. You may want to draw a vertical number line on the board and label the various locations presented in the table on the vertical number line.

Practice & Homework: Exercises 1

Explore Activity-2 (15 minutes):

Connect Vocabulary: To help students understand the concept of opposite in math and in other contexts, make a list with students of pairs of opposites, such as hot and cold, black and white, up and down, left and right. Clarify that left and right is used in the math concept of opposite with negative numbers to the left of 0 and positive numbers to the right. Zero is its own opposite.

Questioning Strategies:

     Does every integer have an opposite? Explain.

Yes, zero is its own opposite. For all other integers, the opposite has a different sign.

     How does a number line help you understand what the opposite of an integer is?

I can visually see that 4 and -4 are the same distance from zero.

Connect to Daily Life: Explain that bank statements record amounts of money being withdrawn or spent as negative amounts and amounts of money being deposited as positive amounts.

Check for Understanding: How do you find the opposite of an integer? Look for the integer that is the same distance from 0 but on the other side of zero.

Practice & Homework: Exercises 12, 13, 15, 18, 19, 24

Example-1 (15 minutes):

Engage: Have students take turns graphing an integer and then have another student graph the integer’s opposite on the number line.

Focus on Patterns: Elicit from students that when finding the opposite of the opposite of a positive number, the pattern of the signs in the steps is +, -, +. When finding the opposite of the opposite of a negative number, the pattern of the signs in the steps is -, +, -.

Questioning Strategies:

     Is the opposite of a temperature always colder? Explain.

No, because if the temperature is negative, say -5°, then the opposite would be 5°, which would be warmer.

     Is the opposite of an opposite always the number you started with? Give an example.

Yes. If you start at 3, the opposite is -3, then the opposite of -3 is 3.

     Explain how you could use a number line to find the opposite of 8.

First graph a point 8 units to the right of 0. Then graph a point the same distance to the left of 0. That point will be at -8.

Guided Practice: Have students work on Additional Example 1 and Your Turn, then explain.

Your Turn:

Avoid Common Error: If students seem to get lost with the notation “the opposite of the opposite of,” suggest that they work backward through the sentence. First they find the opposite of 6, which is -6. Then they find the opposite of -6.

Practice & Homework: Exercises 2–10, 14, 16, 17, 20–23

 

Common Errors

Example-1: If students seem to get lost with the notation “the opposite of the opposite of,” suggest that they work backward through the sentence. First they find the opposite of 1, which is -1. Then they find the opposite of -1.

Exercise 1: Remind students to label the points they graph on the number line carefully, so it is clear which point they intend as the answer.

Exercise 9: Remind students that zero is its own opposite.

Differentiation

Intervention

Manipulative:

For Explore Activity 2, some students have difficulty labeling a number line and folding it so the opposite integers line up. It may be helpful to give them printed number lines with a vertical dashed line through zero.

Enrichment

Activity:

The lowest and highest places in the United States are both in California, as shown in the graph. How can you use the graph to find the difference in elevation between the two locations?

If you start at the lowest point, you need to go up 282 ft to sea level and then another 14,495 ft to get to the top of Mt. Whitney. 282 + 14,495 = 14,777.
