4 Introduction Each book in the Power Practice series contains over 00 ready-to-use activity pages to provide students with skill practice. The fun activities can be used to supplement and enhance what you are teaching in your classroom. Give an activity page to students as independent class work, or send the pages home as homework to reinforce skills taught in class. An answer key is provided for quick reference. Each activity in Algebra has been tied to the NCTM standards as outlined below. The numbers of the related standards are listed next to each activity in the Table of Contents.. Number and Operations: Understand numbers, ways of representing numbers, relationships among numbers, and number systems.. Algebra: Understand patterns, relations, and functions. Represent and analyze mathematical situations and structures using algebraic symbols. 3. Geometry: Analyze characteristics and properties of two- and three-dimensional geometric shapes. Use visualization, spatial reasoning, and geometric modeling to solve problems.. Measurement: Understand measurable attributes of objects and the units, systems, and processes of measurement.. Data Analysis and Probability: Select and use appropriate statistical methods to analyze data. Develop and evaluate inferences and predictions that are based on data. Understand and apply basic concepts of probability. 6. Problem Solving: Solve problems that arise in mathematics and in other contexts. Apply and adapt a variety of appropriate strategies to solve problems. 7. Reasoning and Proof: Make and investigate mathematical conjectures. Develop and evaluate mathematical arguments and proofs. 8. Communication: Organize and consolidate mathematical thinking through communication. Use the language of mathematics to express mathematical ideas precisely. 9. Connections: Understand how mathematical ideas interconnect and build on one another to produce a coherent whole. 0. Representation: Create and use representations to organize, record, and communicate mathematical ideas. Use these ready-to-go activities to recharge skill review and give students the power to succeed!

5 Name Date Real Number Line The opposite of positive is negative. For example, 8 and 8 are opposites. Opposites are the same distance from the origin, 0.
