They then copy the same drawing onto a third grid, smaller than the second but larger than the first. As follow-up, they invent other closeness problems for each other. Students search for as many uses of percent as they can find over the course of a week. The sources for the uses, however, are to be exclusively within the school setting. Develop and use order relations for integers and rational numbers.
Students use a deck of fraction cards for a variety of tasks.
Determine which pairs have a value close to 1. Students use a number line, including both positive and negative integers, to graph inequalities stated verbally. Students gain understanding of the order relationships among fractions and integers by comparing them with similar ones for whole numbers. They answer similar questions on their test. Recognize and describe patterns in both finite and infinite number sequences involving wholenumbers, rational numbers, and integers.
