Plotting, Ordering, and Comparing Rational Numbers: Sample FAST Questions

Students extend their understanding of numbers to define rational numbers, which include fractions, decimals, and negative numbers. They learn to plot rational numbers on a number line, put them in order from least to greatest, and compare them using the symbols <, >, and =. This includes comparing numbers written in different forms, such as a fraction versus a decimal.

How the FAST tests this benchmark

On the FAST, students see multiple choice items asking which comparison is true, graphic response items where they plot a value on a number line, and items asking them to order a set of rational numbers.
