D.Applypropertiesofoperationsasstrategiestoaddandsubtractrationalnumbers. / I Can:
7.NS. 1.A Describe situations in which opposite quantities equal zero
7.NS.1.A Explain and compute absolute value.
7.NS.1.B Add and subtract rational numbers.
7.NS.1.B Apply the additive inverse property
7.NS.1.B Describe situations in which opposite quantities equal zero.
7.NS.1.C Describe real-life contexts of rational sums.
7.NS.1.CRecognize the sum of positive and negative integers as application of the additive inverse.
7.NS. 1.D Apply properties to simplify combining rational numbers. / Example 1:
Use a number line to subtract: -6 – (-4)
Solution:
This problem is asking for the distance between -6 and -4. The distance between -6 and -4 is 2 and the direction from -4 to -6 is left or negative. The answer would be -2 (Note that this answer is the same as adding the opposite of -4)
-6 + 4 = -2
Example 2:A hydrogen atom has 0 charge when its two constituents are oppositely charged. Explain.
Example 3:
Use a number line to illustrate:
  • p – q ie. 7 – 4
  • p + (-q) ie. 7 + (– 4)
  • Is this equation true p – q = p + (-q)?
Students explore the above relationship when p is negative and q is positive and when both p and q are negative. Is this relationship always true?
Example: Ella says that when you combine two numbers and one is negative, you always get a negative answer. Is her statement always true, never true, or sometimes true? Explain your answer. / Integers

Topic 2 – Multiplication and Division of Rationals
7.NS.2
.Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division and of fractions to multiply
and divide rational numbers.
Convert a rational number to a decimal using long division; know that the decimal form of a rational number terminates in 0s or eventually repeats. / I Can:
Convert rational numbers to decimal numbers.
Recognize a terminating or repeating decimal / Multiplication and division of integers is an extension of multiplication and division of whole numbers.
Examples:
  • Examine the family of equations. What patterns do you see? Create a model and context for each of the products.
Equation / Number Line Model / Context
2 x 3 = 6 / / Selling two posters at $3.00 per poster
2 x -3 = -6 / / Spending 3 dollars each on 2 posters
-2 x 3 = -6 / / Owing 2 dollars to each of your three friends
-2 x -3 = 6 / / Forgiving 3 debts of $2.00 each

Solution: 10.1
Example 2:
Jim’s cell phone bill is automatically deducting $32 from his bank account every month. How much will the deductions total for the year?
Solution:
-32 + (-32) + (-32) + (-32)+ (-32) + (-32) + (-32) + (-32) + (-32) + (-32) + (-32) + (-32) = 12 (-32)
Example 3:
It took a submarine 20 seconds to drop to 100 feet below sea level from the surface. What was the rate of the descent?
Solution:
-100 feet or - 5 feet
20 seconds 1 second
