Unit Thoughts:

Webinar PPT: Feb26_800amMath6Unit7.pptx

Use laminated number lines & centimeter cubes

Make use of positive/negative fraction & decimals

Use inequalities to compare numbers

Have students follow rules of moving around on the number line &
determine where they will end up

Create a treasure map for the coordinate plane using reflections

across both axis' etc...like p. 895 scavenger hunt
 Textbook Connections:

Good examples

Converting fractions to decimals is a focus in Math 7 Unit 1-resulting

in terminating/repeating decimals

Possible Culminating Project/Performance Task:

Created by a 67 teacher: Students create a "blue print" for an

amusement park using the coordinate plane. 5 tasks included:
plotting points, identifying quadrant properties, calculating distance
between points (including writing number sentences with absolute
value), calculating area of polygons (triangle, trapezoid and
rectangle) on the coordinate plane, determine missing point to
create a rectangle. Extension also includes setting up proportions
to calculate actual distance. Unit 7 AmusementParkProject.doc

State Webinar Update: make use of vertical & horizontal number lines;
help students with the true understanding of order of rational numbers and
the meaning of absolute value; master plotting points on the coordinate
plane in all 4 quadrants & determine points for polygons with missing
sides. New Performance Tasks include:
