Real World Problems With Rational Numbers Math Games

3 games

In this series of games, your students will learn to solve real-world and mathematical problems involving the four operations with rational numbers. The Real World Problems With Rational Numbers learning objective — based on CCSS and state standards — delivers improved student engagement and academic performance in your classroom, as demonstrated by research. This learning objective directly references 7.NS.A.3 as written in the common core national math standards.

Scroll down for a preview of this learning objective’s games and the concepts.

Concepts Covered

Solve real world problems where at least one of the terms is negative. Solve real world problems where at least one of the terms is a fraction or a mixed number.  Use all four operations when computing with negative values. The rule for multiplying signed numbers is positive x negative = negative, negative x positive = negative, and negative x negative = positive. Solve real world problems where at least one of the terms is a decimal. Solve mathematical problems involving the four operations with rational numbers.

When expressing division as fractions the entire term is considered negative. Use rules for integers to multiply any signed rational numbers. Multiplication and division of multiple signed numbers follow the rule of an even number of negative signed numbers will yield a positive product or quotient and an odd number of negatives will yield a negative product or quotient.
