Module 3

This course is a part of 6th grade (Eureka Math/EngageNY), a 6-course Topic series from Khan Academy.

"Major themes of Module 3 are to understand rational numbers as points on the number line and to extend previous understandings of numbers to the system of rational numbers, which now include negative numbers. Students extend coordinate axes to represent points in the plane with negative number coordinates and, as part of doing so, see that negative numbers can represent quantities in real-world contexts. They use the number line to order numbers and to understand the absolute value of a number. They begin to solve real-world and mathematical problems by graphing points in all four quadrants, a concept that continues throughout to be used into high school and beyond."

This course contains 3 segments:

Topic A: Understanding positive and negative numbers on the number line

Topic A includes lessons 1-6 and covers positive and negative numbers on the number line—opposite direction and value, real-world positive and negative numbers and zero, the opposite of a number, the opposite of a number’s opposite, and rational numbers on the number line.

Topic B: Order and absolute value

Topic B includes lessons 7-13 and covers ordering integers and other rational numbers, comparing integers and other rational numbers, writing and interpreting inequality statements involving rational numbers, absolute value—magnitude and distance, the relationship between absolute value and order, and statements of order in the real world.

Topic C: Rational numbers and the coordinate plane

Topic C includes lessons 14-19 and covers ordered pairs, locating ordered pairs on the coordinate plane, symmetry in the coordinate plane, drawing the coordinate plane and points on the plane, distance on the coordinate plane, and problem solving and the coordinate plane.
