Developing the ability to reason and make sense of rational numbers is critical to your students' success in the mathematics. In this Discussion, you will solve a mathematical task related to rational numbers using one or more of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematical Practice. You will then communicate your mathematical thinking to others
