Integer Addition and Subtraction
Conceptual lessons that utilize manipulatives and real world examples to teach adding and subtracting integers. [| Combining Integers with Beans Teacher Lesson.doc][| Integer Problems in a Real World Context.doc][| TheAbsent-MindedPostalCarrier.doc] In the first two lessons, students use their calculators to help them discover the rules for adding and subtracting integers. In the third lesson, Combining Like Terms Guided Notes, students define what like terms are and then use this idea to simplify problems with like terms. [| Adding Integers Inquiry Practice Word Problems.doc][| Subtracting Integers Inquiry Practice Word Problems.doc][| Combining Like Terms Guided Notes and Practice.doc] Use this foldable to review the rules for integer operations.[| Integers foldable.doc]
