7.NS.A.2b
Understand that integers can be divided, provided that the divisor is not zero, and every quotient of integers (with non-zero divisor) is a rational number. If p and q are integers, then -(p/q) = (-p)/q = p/(-q). Interpret quotients of rational numbers by describing real-world contexts.
Comments:
7.NS.A.2b is an embedded standard. This classification refers to problem-solving tasks where the underlying math concepts in a Common Core standard is "embedded" within the problem, but the standard is not directly aligned to the problem. A student may use the underlying math concept in this standard to solve the task, but cannot be required to use that math concept due to the open-ended nature of problem solving. These tasks should not be given as an assessment, but rather used with students to practice a particular math concept or skill.
