Grade CCSS Math Lesson Plans
Week of September 21-25
Objectives:
CCSS.7.NS.A.​
2A:​
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.
CCSS.7.NS.A.​
2B:​
Understand that integers can be divided, provided that the divisor
​
is not zero, and every quotient of integers (with non-zero divisor) is a rational
number. If ​
p​
and ​
q​
are integers, then -(​
p​
/​
q​
) = (-​
p​
)/​
q​
=​
p​
/(-​
q​
). Interpret quotients of
rational numbers by describing real-world contexts.
CCSS.7.NS.A.2.C​
: Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and
divide rational numbers.
Mathematical Practices:
1. Make sense of problems and preserve in solving them.
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
4. Model with mathematics.
