Adding, Subtracting, Multiplying, Dividing Integers. Opposites, Absolute Values, and Word Problems also:

Integer Indulgence indeed; 84 pages of materials that provide a unique, entertaining, and efficient way to teach EVERYTHING related to integers. Ideal for any pre-algebra or algebra course, or any common core based math class in which integers are taught. On the first day of the unit, students are introduced to Mr. Number Line. He has a really wide head, he has lots and lots of teeth … some say they go on forever in both directions, he is happy (positive) half of the time and unhappy (negative) half of the time, he is incredibly useful in doing in all kinds of math, and he is always there for you … everybody loves Mr. Number Line! Mr. Number Line, Integer Poetry, and other proven teaching methods are incorporated into warm-up and exploration activities and associated worksheets, grouped into nine different teaching sections, to ensure students learn and retain these concepts forever. Follow these instructions and use the various materials step-by-step, and your students will not only learn how to properly utilize integers to solve problems, but be well-prepared for future introduction to positive and negative rational numbers and solving algebraic equations.

This product is broken up into nine different sections:

Integer Introduction – Students meet Mr. Number Line and are introduced to Integer Poetry. These are used to convey plotting, comparing, and ordering integers. Includes a warm-up activity, two-page exploration activity, poetry, and a two-page worksheet.

Opposites and Absolute Values – Students use Mr. Number Line and more Integer Poetry to master integer opposites and absolute values. Includes a warm-up activity, a two-page exploration, poetry, and a two-page worksheet.

Addition – Students use Mr. Number Line to determine the rules for adding positive and negative integers, learn the associated poetry, and move on to application in the associated worksheet. Includes a warm-up activity, a two-page exploration, poetry, and a two-page worksheet.

Subtraction – Students use Mr. Number Line and inverse properties of addition and subtraction to reason to the rules for subtracting integers. Includes a warm-up activity, a two-page exploration, poetry, and a two-page worksheet.

Multiplication – Students model multiplication as repeated addition and use the properties of opposites to quickly recognize the rules for multiplying integers. Includes a warm-up activity, a two-page exploration, poetry, and an associated worksheet.

Division – Students walk through a number of examples that use inverse properties of multiplication and division to establish that the rules for multiplication and division are identical. Includes a warm-up activity, a two-page exploration, poetry, and associated worksheet.

Integer Word Problems – Students review how to solve word problems by drawing and labeling pictures and setting up and evaluating appropriate integer expressions. Students then tackle the ever-popular “Airplane, Shark, etc.” worksheet in which they follow the adventures of Sammy the shark, drawing appropriate pictures and solving integer word problems as they go.

“Putting it All Together” Worksheet – A four-page comprehensive review of all of the concepts learned in this unit.

Integer Unit Assessment – A four-page final assessment that can also be used as a pre-assessment.

Good luck as you indulge yourself and your students with integers!
