Things to Learn

  • Use positive and negative numbers to indicate a change (gain or loss) in elevation with a fixed reference point, temperature, and the balance in a bank account.
  • Use vocabulary precisely when describing and representing situations involving integers; for instance, an elevation of −10 feet is the same as 10 feet below the fixed reference point.
  • Choose an appropriate scale for the number line when given a set of positive and negative numbers to graph.
