Adult Goal 6: Learners will develop a sense of number relationships.

OBJECTIVES EXAMPLES
Objective A: Learners will construct number meanings and sense.
  • Interpret numbers in terms of whole/part relationships such as 7 = 3 + 4, 7 - 3 = 4; or 2 x 4 = 8, 8/2 = 4.
  • Recognize the magnitudes of numbers, e.g., 3400 > 34.
  • Use numbers in a variety of equivalent forms, e.g., 1/2 = 0.5 = 50%, 2000 = 2 x 10 3 .
  • Understand a number line (positive and negative values).
  • Predict the results of:
    • Multiplying by a number less than one.
    • Dividing by a number less than one.
    • Adding/subtracting different combinations of positive or negative numbers (integers).
Objective B: Learners will demonstrate understanding of place value by explaining.
  • Place values from units to billions.
  • Place values from units to billionths.
  • The concept of zero as a place holder.
