Find the cards that get to zero. The activity introduces the class to the idea of adding integers. Pupils use a number line to count up and count down when adding. They play a game to collect cards that will sum to zero.

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...

Students participate in a lesson exploring the concept of using graphs in various types of mathematical problems. They use negative and positive numbers in order to plot a graph. Students should use a place value chart for a reference...

Students identify the slope of a line as negative, positive, zero or undefined. In this algebra lesson, students identify the distance versus the time using graphs of linear equation. They use the robot and the CEENBoT program to...

Students manipulate negative and positive numbers. In this integers instructional activity, students move through three activities exploring negative and positive whole numbers. A number line, cardboard function representation, and...

Your sixth and seventh graders deepen their understanding of a number line and adding integers in this concrete, hands-on activity. Learners play "Warehouse Puzzle" and then discuss their game strategies and the characteristics...

Build an understanding of the powers of 10. Pupils investigate the results of raising 10 to positive and negative powers. They relate this understanding to the magnitude these powers represent in this seventh lesson of 15.

Prealgebrarians use colored chips, stickers, and pencils to explore the world of integers. They discover absolute value, compare positive and negative integers, and apply operations to them. A detailed procedure for the three-part...

Learnersare given 26 tables and graphs in which they must fill in missing numbers and graph equations. They subtract a given value of x from a constant number, and use a number line to subtract larger numbers from smaller ones resulting...

Review operations related to rational numbers and integers using the include PowerPoint presentation, "Interesting Integers." Young mathematicians classify rational numbers as being natural, whole, or integers and read an article about...

Apply the concept of magnitude to estimate values and compare numbers. The ninth lesson plan of the 15-part series asks learners to write numbers to their next greatest power of 10 and then make comparisons. Scholars begin to understand...

Students follow directions to complete a multi-step process that results in an attractive holiday decoration. For this Christmas art activity lesson, students employ simple measuring and weaving techniques and experiment with the...

Is there a relationship between height and the number of siblings? Classmates collect data on their heights and numbers of brothers and sisters. They apply statistical methods to determine if such a relationship exists.

Scatter plots tell a story about the data — you just need to be able to read it! Building from the previous lesson in the series where learners created scatter plots, they now learn how to find associations in those scatter plots....

Students explore the concept of adding and subtracting using positive and negative numbers. In this addition and subtraction of signed numbers lesson, students use pennies to represent positive and negative numbers. Students deposit and...

Students examine negative numbers by extending a vertical number line to include numbers less than zero. After playing a game, students watch a Cyberchase video in which the characters try to solve similar problems.

Students estimate and compute with rational numbers. They compare, order and convert among fractions, decimals and percents. Students analyze problems to determine if there is sufficient or extraneous data to solve.

In this subtraction activity, students complete subtraction problems containing parenthesis, up to 3 digit numbers, and negatives. Students complete 10 problems total.

Students examine why a negative number subtracted from another number changes the operation to addition.

Students identify integers as rational and irrational numbers. In this algebra lesson, students measure and construct number lines using positive and negative integers. They convert between decimals and fractions.

In this math worksheet, students find the measurements of the angles in degrees. Then they determine which ones are in Standard Position.

Pupils identify numbers as having a magnitude and direction. They practice to order whole numbers and fractions on the number line. In addition, they practice these skills with describing places they've visited before.

Eighth graders act out a number line using integers -10 to 10 on large cards. They practice addition and subtraction of these integers to gain explain the relative size of numbers.

In this absolute value worksheet, students identify the solution set of equations containing absolute values and inequalities. Fractions, decimals, negative numbers and positive numbers are included in the equations. Thirty problems are...
