A comprehensive course designed to build foundational and advanced math skills for 6th-grade students, preparing them for the MAP assessment and real-world problem-solving.
Rational numbers are numbers that can be written as fractions, including whole numbers, decimals, and negative numbers.
To add or subtract rational numbers, make sure the denominators are the same for fractions, and line up the decimal points for decimals.
Remember the rules for adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing negative numbers!
These skills help us with everything from measuring distances to handling money—even when the values are less than zero!
Adding \(-4\) and \(7.2\) gives \(3.2\).
Multiplying \(\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{6}{12} = \frac{1}{2}\).
Rational numbers include fractions, decimals, and negatives, and we use operations to work with them.
