ordering Rational Numbers
Task Cards
Students will be able to order rational numbers using a number line.
6.NS.7(a) Interpret statements of inequality as statements about the relative
position of two numbers on the number line diagram.
6.2C Locate, compare, and order integers and rational numbers using the number
line.
Ideas for Implementation: Task cards are excellent for classroom practice. Students
get hands on practice and there are many activities to play with these cards. Scoot
or relay races are a few ideas. Available in black and white or color versions.
Teacher Tips: Print on cardstock or laminate to keep cards lasting. You can store
them in plastic baggies or on binder rings.
