Positive and Negative Numbers
Definition
Rational Numbers – numbers that
can be expressed as one integer a
divided by another integer b,
where b is not zero
You can write a rational number
a
in the form
or in decimal
b
form
Definition
• Positive number – a number
greater than zero.
0 1 2 3 4 5 6
Definition
• Negative number – a number
less than zero.
-6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
Definition
• Opposite Numbers – numbers
that are the same distance from
zero in the opposite direction
-6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
Definition
• Integers – Integers are all the
whole numbers and all of their
opposites on the negative
number line including zero.

Hint
• If you don’t see a negative or
positive sign in front of a
number it is positive.

Inequalities and their Graphs
Objective:
To write and graph simple
inequalities with one variable

What is a good definition for Inequality?
An inequality is a statement that
two expressions are not equal

Let’s work a few together
x>3
Notice: when variable is on
left side, sign shows
direction of solution

Ordering fractions
If the DENOMINATOR is the same, look at the
NUMERATORS, and put the fractions in order.

If the DENOMINATOR is the different, we have a
problem that must be dealt with differently.

We need to convert our fractions to EQUIVALENT
fractions of the same DENOMINATOR. We will
come back to this example.

Here’s an easier example, with just 2
fractions to start us off.
Ordering fractions
Look at the denominators. We must look for a
COMMON MULTIPLE.

This means that we check to see which numbers
are in the 6 times table, and the 9 times table. We
need a number that appears in both lists.
