Develop Understanding
Today's Learning Goal: (G7, U5, L3)
Comprehend the term “opposite” (in spoken and written language) refers to numbers with the same magnitude but different signs.
Create and interpret equations and diagrams that represent adding signed numbers in the context of elevation.
Generalize (orally) a method for determining the sum of two signed numbers.
Today's Materials:
Laptop
Laptop charger
Pen/Pencil/Paper (optional)
Please complete the Jump Start (activator). You have 5 minutes before we review. This is independent it should be silent.
Reminders:
1. Ready for class
2. No cellphones
3. Volume must be low.
4. Read and follow all directions
5.) Take your bag off and immediately begin the Activator.
Find the opposite:
Running 150 feet east

What is the final elevation if:
A climber starts at 20 m and changes 16?
A butterfly starts at 20 m and changes -16 m?
A diver starts at 5 m and changes -16 m?
A mountaineer is climbing on a cliff. She is 200 feet above the ground. If she climbs up, this will be a positive change. If she climbs down, this will be a negative change.
Complete the table:
A spelunker is down in a cave next to the cliff. If she climbs down deeper into the cave, this will be a negative change. If she climbs up, whether inside the cave or out of the cave and up the cliff, this will be a positive change.
Complete the 2nd table:
Complete the final table:

What is the opposite of 5? of -8? of 1/3? of -0.6?
What is the sum of a number and its opposite?
Explain how to add two numbers with the same sign. With different signs

Draw arrows on a number line to represent these situations:
The temperature was -5 degrees. Then the temperature rose 5 degrees.
Draw arrows on a number line to represent these situations:
A climber was 30 feet above sea level. Then she descended 30 feet
Find the opposite:
Jumping down 10 steps
Find the opposite:
Pouring 8 gallons into a fish tank.
A whale starts at -9 m and changes 11?m?
A fish starts at -9 meters and changes -11 meters?
