7.NS.2 2012 Domain: The Number System Cluster: Apply and extend previous understandings of operations with fractions to add, subtract, multiply and divide rational numbers. Standards: 7.NS.2 Apply and extend previous understanding of multiplication and division and of fractions to multiply and divide rational numbers. a. understand that multiplication is extended from fractions to rational numbers by requiring that operations continue to satisfy the properties of operations, particularly the distributive property, leading to products such as (-1)(-1) = 1 and the rules for multiplying signed numbers. Interpret products of rational numbers by describing real-world contexts. b. Understand that integers can be divided, provided that the divisor is not zero, and every quotient of integers (with nonzero divisor) is a rational number. If p and q are integers, the –(p/q) = (-p)/q = p/(-q). Interpret quotients of rational numbers by describing real-world contexts. c. Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide rational numbers. d. Convert a rational number to a decimal using long division,; know that the decimal form of a rational number terminates in 0s or eventually repeats. Essential Questions Enduring Understandings Activities, Investigation, and Student Experiences What models and relationships help you make sense of multiplying and dividing positive and negative numbers? Understand that multiplication and division of whole numbers is extended to integers by requiring that operations continue to satisfy properties of operations. How does knowing how to add positive and negative integers help you multiply positive and negative integers? There are similarities and differences between multiplying rational numbers and multiplying fractions and decimals. Activity: Create a real-world situation that will help students to discover the procedures for multiplying rational numbers. For example, “You have a bank account that you forgot about and it currently has a balance of $0. The bank charges a service fee of $3 every month. What would the balance be after 5 months?” Hold a brief discussion about what the equation used to solve this problem would look like (5(-3). Which number is negative? Why? How do properties of addition and multiplication help you multiply positive and The rules for multiplying rational numbers. Have students work with a partner to solve and share out with the class. How did they know if the answer was negative or positive? Challenge the students by telling them the bank wants to refund the money. Have each pair of students determine a new equation (-5)(-3), solve and share out with the class. Again, how did they know 7.NS.2 negative integers? How does the relationship between multiplication and division help you divide integers and other rational numbers? What models and relationships help you make sense of multiplying and dividing positive and negative rational numbers? Ability to explore and justify the result of division by 0. Ability to apply and extend knowledge of addition and subtraction of integers (i.e. two color counters, arrows on a number line) to extend to division. Ability to use patterns and concrete models to devise a general rule for dividing. Deciding the order in which to carry out the operations when Why do rational a problem consists of more numbers in decimal form than one operation. either terminate or repeat? Ability to identify and apply the Distributive, Associative, How are properties Commutative, and Identity useful in solving a Properties. variety of problems? Ability to recognize that when rational numbers in fractional Content Statements 2012 if the answer was positive or negative? Present students with several other problems 3(-2), (-3)(-2), (-3)2. Encourage students to look for patterns. Have students create rules for multiplying with negative numbers. In what situations is the answer negative? Positive? Activity: Brainstorm a list of real-world scenarios in which students will need to multiply negative numbers. Activity: Use a spinner, dice OR number cards to build numbers to multiply. Give students parameters to follow such as how many digits each number must include. Student will spin to create their number, and then spin to determine whether it is negative or positive. (Odds can represent a negative, evens can represent a positive). Students partner with a classmate to play. The winner is the student who has the largest/smallest product. Activity: Have students play “war” with a deck of cards. The red cards are negatives, black cards are positive. Students deal out the cards, flip two cards each, multiply, and the student with the larger product receives the cards. 7.NS.2 Apply the rules for multiplying integers. Review the Commutative Property of Multiplication. Multiply rational numbers. Divide integers, recognize when a quotient is undefined. Express a quotient of integers as a rational number. Write a rational number as a quotient of integers. Apply previous understandings of division of factions to write division by a rational number as multiplication by the reciprocal. Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide rational numbers. form are converted to decimals they either terminate or repeat. 2012 Assign number values to the Ace, King, Queen, and Jack. Activity: Pair up students. Present –(8/2). Ask for answer, (-4). Present (-8)/4. Again ask for volunteer to answer, (-4). Ask how they know the answer is negative. Present 8/(2). Ask for answer and how they know. Have a brief discussion about the three problems. What do the three problems have in common? What conclusions can you draw about dividing negative numbers? Work in pairs to solve several sets of problems similar to… Ex. –(12/3), -(12)/3, 12/(-3), -12/-3 Generate a class discussion about the problems. Have students make generalizations about dividing negative numbers and create a set of rules detailing how to divide negative numbers. Activity: Play a game where students use a spinner (or number cards). Students spin to select numbers and create a division problem. Challenge them to manipulate the negative sign to create as many different problems as they can that will all have the same answer. Investigation: Present additional problems to students that include decimals and fractions and challenge students to discover whether the rule they established still applies. Activity: Create four sets of problems with 5 problems in each set. Ex. 3(5+4), 4 ( ½ + ¼), 1/3 (6+3), -5(-3 + 2), -3/4 (1/2 – 7.NS.2 Simplify complex fractions involving rational numbers. Apply the distributive property to multiplying rational numbers. Solve real-world problems involving more than one operation with rational numbers. Convert fractions to decimals and vice versa. Determine whether a decimal is terminating or repeating. Assessments The temperature in Bar Harbor, Maine, was -3 °F. It then dropped during the night to be four times as cold. What was the temperature then? You are in a submarine at -15 feet below sea level. You descend three times your current location. How far below sea level are you now? A teacher has 5 cups of M&M’s to be shared equally with 6 students. How many cups would each student receive? 2012 ¼). Have students complete one set of problems with a partner. Once students are finished, put students into groups of 8 so that all of the problem sets are represented. Ask each pair to present their problems to the larger group and share their strategies and methods. Hold a class discussion to summarize the properties they applied and how they used their prior knowledge to solve the more complex ones. How did they treat fractions? How did they decide which answers were negative and which were positive? Activity: Partner students up. Give each pair of students a baggie. Students will match the fractions to their decimal equivalents. Once students have found the ten matched pairs, have a class discussion about strategies students used to find the answers. Make sure students are able to articulate what process and operation they used. What did they do when there weren’t any more digits in the dividend but needed to avoid a remainder? What did they do when they came across a repeating decimal? Have students summarize the process for converting fractions to decimals, using their journals. ***Sample fractions: ½, 3/8, ¼, 2/5, 5/8, 1/3, 2/3, ¾, 5/6, 4/5. 7.NS.2 -5/6 = ___/-6 Find the missing value. A recipe calls for 2 ¾ cups of whole wheat flour. If Ms. Ambrose wanted to triple the recipe, how many cups of flour would she need? Mr. Mischel wants to divide 3 ½ containers of fertilizer equally amongst 8 flower beds. How many containers will he need each day if he plans on filling 2 flower beds per day? Provide students with one terminating decimal, one repeating decimal in fraction form, and a number line. Have students graph the given rational numbers on the number line, determine one repeating and one terminating decimal between the given rational numbers, identify those that are terminating and repeating and explain why.
