Cluster:
Apply and extend previous understandings of operations with fractions to add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers.

Standard:
Apply and extend previous understandings of addition and subtraction to add and subtract rational numbers; represent addition and subtraction on a horizontal or vertical number line diagram. Understand subtraction of rational numbers as adding the additive inverse, p – q = p + (–q). Show that the distance between two rational numbers on the number line is the absolute value of their difference, and apply this principle in real-world contexts.

Cluster:
Apply and extend previous understandings of operations with fractions to add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers.

Standard:
Apply and extend previous understandings of addition and subtraction to add and subtract rational numbers; represent addition and subtraction on a horizontal or vertical number line diagram. Apply properties of operations as strategies to add and subtract rational numbers.

Cluster:
Apply and extend previous understandings of operations with fractions to add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers.

Standard:
Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division and of fractions to multiply and divide rational numbers. Understand that multiplication is extended from fractions to rational numbers by requiring that operations continue to satisfy the properties of operations, particularly the distributive property, leading to products such as (–1)(–1) = 1 and the rules for multiplying signed numbers. Interpret products of rational numbers by describing real-world contexts.

Cluster:
Apply and extend previous understandings of operations with fractions to add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers.

Standard:
Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division and of fractions to multiply and divide rational numbers. Understand that integers can be divided, provided that the divisor is not zero, and every quotient of integers (with non-zero divisor) is a rational number. If p and q are integers, then –(p/q) = (–p)/q = p/(–q). Interpret quotients of rational numbers by describing real-world contexts.

Standard:

Cluster:
Apply and extend previous understandings of operations with fractions to add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers.

Standard:
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.

Cluster:
Apply and extend previous understandings of operations with fractions to add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers.

Standard:
Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving the four operations with rational numbers.

Footnote:
Computations with rational numbers extend the rules for manipulating fractions to complex fractions.

Cluster:
Understand solving equations as a process of reasoning and explain the reasoning. [Master linear; learn as general principle.]

Standard:
Explain each step in solving a simple equation as following from the equality of numbers asserted at the previous step, starting from the assumption that the original equation has a solution. Construct a viable argument to justify a solution method.

Cluster:
Represent and solve equations and inequalities graphically. [Linear and exponential; learn as general principle.]

Standard:
Understand that the graph of an equation in two variables is the set of all its solutions plotted in the coordinate plane, often forming a curve (which could be a line).
