Mathematics | Grade : 7

Domain - The Number System

Cluster - Apply and extend previous understandings of operations with fractions to add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers.

[7.NS.A.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.


Resources:


  • Additive inverses
    Two numbers whose sum is 0 are additive inverses of one another. Example: 3/4 and –3/4 are additive inverses of one another because 3/4 + (–3/4) = (–3/4) + 3/4 = 0.

Predecessor Standards:

  • 6.NS.C.6.a
    Recognize opposite signs of numbers as indicating locations on opposite sides of 0 on the number line; recognize that the opposite of the opposite of a number is the number itself, e.g., –(–3) = 3, and that 0 is its own opposite.
  • 6.NS.C.7.c
    Understand the absolute value of a rational number as its distance from 0 on the number line; interpret absolute value as magnitude for a positive or negative quantity in a real-world situation. For example, for an account balance of –30 dollars, write |–30| = 30 to describe the size of the debt in dollars.
