Order and identify the absolute value of rational numbers. a. Interpret statements of inequality as statements about the relative position of two numbers on a number line (e.g., interpret −3 > −7 as a statement that –3 is located to the right of –7 on a horizontal number line). b. Write, interpret, and explain statements of order for rational numbers in context (e.g., write −3℃ > −7℃ to express the fact that −3℃ is warmer than −7℃). c. Use understanding of the absolute value of a rational number as its distance from 0 on the number line to interpret absolute value as magnitude for a positive or negative quantity in context (e.g., for an account balance of –30 dollars, write to describe the size of the debt in dollars).
