Learning goals: Sub-Unit 1: Negative Numbers and Absolute Values (Lessons 1–6 + Practice Day + Quiz) • Order and compare positive numbers, negative numbers, and `0`. • Evaluate, order, and compare absolute values. • Interpret positive numbers, negative numbers, `0`, and absolute values in context. Sub-Unit 2: Inequalities (Lessons 7–9) • Write inequalities using symbols and words. • Graph solutions to inequalities on a number line. • Interpret the meaning of an inequality in context. • Justify whether a number is a solution to an inequality. Sub-Unit 3: The Coordinate Plane (Lessons 10–13 + Practice Day) • Graph points with positive and negative coordinates. • Draw polygons on the coordinate plane and determine their vertical and horizontal side lengths. • Describe the relationship between ordered pairs that di er only by the signs of their coordinates. • Interpret the meaning of an ordered pair in context.
