Comparing Rational Numbers Using a Number Line

Compare rational numbers using a number line in this activity.
Putting It All Together
[i]Answer these open ended questions on your own or with others to form deeper math connections. [/i]
What are the similarities between the numbers -5 and 5? What are the differences?
If two numbers are positive, how can we tell which one is greater?
If two numbers are negative, how can we tell which one is greater?

Comparing Fractions

Use the silders to change the fractions, their positions are shown on the number line.

Number Line Fraction Visualization
The number line below divides 0 to 1 into fractions defined by the sliders to the left. Try to predict equivalent fractions for different denominators, then verify visually.
Bar Visualization of Fractions.
The applet below provides side by side comparisons of two fractions defined by the sliders. Set up a fraction on the left and try to determine all equivalent fractions. Verify your answers visually using the right.

Exploring Types of Triangles

These are triangles. They all are a little bit different from one another. What makes them different? If they are different does that mean that they are all really triangles? Test them and see. Record what the differences are and what the similarities are. Remember what makes a triangle a triangle!
Things to think about: [br]1. When is it an acute angle? What makes it so?[br]2. When is it a right angle? What makes it so? [br]3. When is it an obtuse angle? What makes it so?

Triangle Angle Theorems

Interact with the app below for a few minutes.  [br]Then, answer the questions that follow.  [br][br]Be sure to change the locations of this triangle's vertices each time [i]before[/i] you drag the slider!
What is the [b]sum of the measures of the interior angles of this triangle? [/b]
What is the [b]sum of the measures of the exterior angles [/b]of this triangle?
