IM 6.7.7 Lesson: Comparing Numbers and Distance from Zero
a is a rational number. Choose a value for a. Plot a on the number line.
Based on where you plotted [math]a[/math], plot [math]\text{-}a[/math] on the same number line. What is the value of [math]\text{-}a[/math] that you plotted?
Noah said, “If [math]a[/math] is a rational number, [math]-a[/math] will always be a negative number.” Do you agree with Noah? Explain your reasoning.
A submarine is at an elevation of -100 feet (100 feet below sea level). Let’s compare the elevations of these four people to that of the submarine:
[list][*] Clare’s elevation is greater than the elevation of the submarine. Clare is farther from sea level than the submarine.[/*][*]Andre’s elevation is less than the elevation of the submarine. Andre is farther away from sea level than the submarine.[/*][*]Han’s elevation is greater than the elevation of the submarine. Han is closer to sea level than is the submarine.[/*][*]Lin’s elevation is the same distance away from sea level as the submarine’s[/*][/list][br][br]Complete the table as follows.[br][list=1][/list][list][*]Write a possible elevation for each person.[br][/*][*]Use [math]<[/math], [math]>[/math], or [math]=[/math] to compare the elevation of that person to that of the submarine.[br][/*][*]Use absolute value to tell how far away the person is from sea level (elevation 0).[/*][/list]
As an example, the first row has been filled with a possible elevation for Clare.
Priya says her elevation is less than the submarine’s and she is closer to sea level. Is this possible? Explain your reasoning.
Your teacher will give you either a problem card or a data card. Do not show or read your card to your partner.
[table][tr][td]If your teacher gives you the [i]problem card[/i]:[/td][td]If your teacher gives you the [i]data card[/i]:[/td][/tr][tr][td][list=1][*]Silently read your card and think about what information you need to be able to answer the question.[/*][*]Ask your partner for the specific information that you need.[/*][*]Explain how you are using the information to solve the problem. Continue to ask questions until you have enough information to solve the problem.[/*][*]Share the [i]problem card [/i]and solve the problem independently.[/*][*]Read the [i]data card[/i] and discuss your reasoning.[/*][/list][/td][td][list=1][*]Silently read your card.[/*][*]Ask your partner [i]“What specific information do you need?”[/i] and wait for them to [i]ask[/i] for information. If your partner asks for information that is not on the card, do not do the calculations for them. Tell them you don’t have that information.[/*][*]Before sharing the information, ask “[i]Why do you need that information?[/i]” Listen to your partner’s reasoning and ask clarifying questions.[/*][*]Read the [i]problem card[/i] and solve the problem independently.[/*][*]Share the [i]data card[/i] and discuss your reasoning.[/*][/list][/td][/tr][/table]
Your teacher will give you either a problem card or a data card. Do not read your card to your partner.
Here are some numbers. Use inequality symbols (<, =, >) to write true comparison statements.
Work with your partner to write true comparison statements.
One partner should select two numbers and one comparison symbol and use them to write a true statement using symbols. The other partner should write a sentence in words with the same meaning, using the following phrases:[br][list][*]is equal to[/*][*]is the absolute value of[/*][*]is greater than[/*][*]is less than[/*][/list]For example, one partner could write [math]4<8[/math] and the other would write, “4 is less than 8.” Switch roles until each partner has three true mathematical statements and three sentences written down.
For each question, choose a value for each variable to make the whole statement true. (When the word "and" is used in math, both parts have to be true for the whole statement to be true.)
Can you do it if one variable is negative and one is positive?

IM 6.7.7 Practice: Comparing Numbers and Distance from Zero
In the context of elevation, what would [math]\mid\text{-}7\mid[/math] feet mean?
Match the the statements written in English with the mathematical statements.
The number -4 is a distance of 4 units away from 0 on the number line.
The number -63 is more than 4 units away from 0 on the number line.
The number 4 is greater than the number -4.
The numbers 4 and -4 are the same distance away from 0 on the number line.
The number -63 is less than the number 4.
The number -63 is further away from 0 than the number 4 on the number line.
Compare each pair of expressions using >, <, or =.
