These documents align well with:

CCSS: 

• 6.NS.7: Understand ordering and absolute value of rational numbers.
• 6.NS.7.a: Interpret statements of inequality as statements about the relative position of two numbers on a number line diagram. For example, interpret –3 > –7 as a statement that –3 is located to the right of –7 on a number line oriented from left to right.

PREREQUISITE:

• 7.NS.1.b: Understand p + q as the number located a distance |q| from p, in the positive or negative direction depending on whether q is positive or negative. Show that a number and its opposite have a sum of 0 (are additive inverses). Interpret sums of rational numbers by describing real-world contexts.
