Unit 2: Integers (16 days)
Overview
In prior units students have studied whole
numbers, fractions and decimals, and
operations with these numbers. In this unit
students extend the study of number systems
to the integers. The study includes numerical
operations, ordering numbers, absolute value
and the coordinate plane. Students use
integers to solve real-world problems using
the coordinate plane and numerical
operations.
