Study Guide — 6.NS.C.8
Solve real-world and mathematical problems by graphing points in all…
Extend number sense to integers, rationals, and absolute value on the number line.
What this standard means
- Solve real-world and mathematical problems by graphing points in all four quadrants of the coordinate plane. Include use of coordinates and absolute value to find distances between points with the same first coordinate or the same second coordinate.
- Apply solve real-world and mathematical problems by graphing points in all… with models and explanation
- Operates with integers and rationals accurately

Common mistakes
- Subtracting integers in the wrong direction
- Absolute value sign errors
- Incorrect placement of negatives on the number line
Review and practice tests
1. Start Review 1/10 when sets 1–3 feel comfortable. 2. Move up one review level with little help. 3. Use Practice Test 4/10–6/10 for mid-standard checks. 4. Practice Test 10/10 is the mastery bar for 6.NS.C.8.
