Week in ReviewThis week students worked on developing number lines in the opposite direction (to the left or below zero) horizontally and vertically.  Students also used positive integers to locate 

negative integers, understanding that a number and its opposite will be on opposite sides of zero and that both lie the same distance from zero.  Students are now able to represent the opposite of a positive number as a negative number and vice-

versa.
