Negative and Positive Numbers

This week in math we are continuing to work on our 6th unit on number systems and algebra concepts.  Last week we reviewed multiplication and division of fractions, and this week we are going to apply those skills, as well as addition, with negative and positive numbers.  By the end of the week the students will be able to add, subtract, multiply and divide, negative and positive whole numbers, decimals, and fractions.  We will also be learning about a new concept called absolute value, which is counting a numbers distance away from zero.  Lastly, we will be learning about different types of numbers like; whole numbers, integers, rational, and irrational numbers.
