the Results
1. Suppose Marcus built a hill 0.3 meter high. Would you graph the number to the left or right of zero? Explain.
2. Choose a decimal amount less than zero. Would it be graphed to the right or left of Silvio’s ditch? Explain.
3. Compare and contrast graphing positive and negative decimals on a number line.
You can also use models to graph rational numbers.
Graph - 3 _ 4 on a number line.
Model -
3 _ 4 using fraction tiles. Draw a number 1

the Results
14. REASONING Jaclyn thinks that -
1 _
2 is greater than 1 _
4 because it is farther
from zero on the number line. Is her thinking correct? Explain.
15. Explain how you can use the number line to identify
fractions between -
3 _
4 and 3 _
4 . Then identify two fractions that are greater
than -
3 _
4 and less than 3 _
4 .
16. MAKE A CONJECTURE Write a rule that you can use to compare positive and negative values without a number line.
