Understand ordering and absolute value of rational numbers
6.NS.7a
a. Interpret statements of inequality as statements about the relative position of two numbers on a number line diagram. For example, interpret –3 > –7 as a statement that –3 is located to the right of –7 on a number line oriented from left to right.
6.NS.7b
b. Write, interpret, and explain statements of order for rational numbers in real-world contexts. For example, write –3°C > – 7°C to express the fact that –3°C is warmer than –7°C.
