Young scholars solve word problems in which they add, subtract, multiply, and/or divide integers, identify rules and patterns for multiplying and dividing integers, create scenarios that represent each expression, and evaluate expressions.

Young mathematicians construct their own understanding of integers with an inquiry-based math lesson. Using colored chips to represent positive and negative numbers, children model a series of addition and subtraction problems as...

A different way to look at integers is on this number line with variables in place of numbers. Learners are to look at different expressions and describe why they think the answer would be positive or negative, depending on the location...

Just because one integer is larger than another doesn't mean it will make sense right away. Go beyond note taking and show learners, through the use of algebra tiles and a Four-Pan Algebra Balance, how the numbers relate to one...

The 12th segment in a 25-segment series looks at the division of integers and how the signs of the dividend and divisor affect the sign of the quotient. Pupils start with multiplication and division facts of whole numbers and create the...

Repeated addition also works for multiplying integers. The lesson plan has the class play the integer game again, but has one card multiplied several times. Scholars write the multiplication expression and the addition expression that...

The second instructional activity in a series of 25 shows the class how to use arrows and a number line to add integers. Learners apply their knowledge of the commutative property and absolute value in their explanations. Classmates play...

Pupils solve problems with consecutive integers. In this counting lesson, students create formulas for odd and even consecutive integers. They complete a worksheet, homework and work problems on the board.

Middle schoolers engage in a clever lesson that combines meteorology with mathematical thinking. They use integers in relation to high and low temperatures that they record. They use a spreadsheet of weather data, a computer, and gain...

Students investigate the concept of integers and how they should occur in the realm of irrational numbers. The lesson includes the use of positive and negative integers. The lesson is a good foundation in order to move into calculating...

This thorough introduction to the concept of subtracting negative integers walk learners through the necessary steps using teacher modeling and guided practice. Number lines and various word problems are used to support understanding of...

In this integer worksheet, students solve given equations by adding and subtracting positive and negative integers. The worksheet is divided into three parts: addition of integers, subtraction of integers, and mixed equations containing...

Middle schoolers use discs in order to add and subtract integers. There are manipulatives present so kinesthetic learners can access the curriculum. They also review the concept of the opposite of positive and negative numbers.

Students explore integers through a review of basic knowledge and understanding of integers. They order integers on a number line and evaluate integer expressions with variables. Students order values from variable expressions on a...

Investigate the concepts of fractions and integers in order to review for a future assessment. The teacher reviews the major concepts with the class and provides help throughout the lesson as needed. Math middle schoolers work together...

Use two different colors of bingo chips to represent positive and negative charges. Add and subtract them in a clear glass beaker to demonstrate how to add and subtract integers. This visual, along with a number line, will really help...

In this addition worksheet, students add positive and negative integers and decimal numbers. All equations, except one, contain at least one negative integer. Students must determine the appropriate operation based upon the signed...

In this signed numbers worksheet, students simplify equations by using the indicated operation. They add, subtract, multiply, and divide equations containing two to four positive and negative integers. Three of the 25 equations contain...

In this signed number worksheet, students find the sum and difference of positive and negative integers. They use the order of operations to solve equations containing exponents and parenthesis. Students complete 26 problems.
