A good complement to any integers unit contains a three-day lesson plan about positive and negative integers, adding and subtracting integers, and how to find the additive inverse. Additionally, it provides all necessary...

Students practice writing number sentences. After reading real world problems, they describe the same situation by writing a number sentence. Students use algebra tiles, or counters, to demonstrate the use zero pairs in solving...

Young learners answer six fill in the blank questions where they determine the missing addends for four addition word problems. They fill in the missing numbers on a problem that involves both addition and subtraction. Lastly, they...

There are three parts to this lesson on integers. In the first, learners explore positive and negative numbers on an actual painter's tape number line and by playing a "Hot Seat" game. In part two, they view a BrainPop video and work...

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...

Kindergarten counters will be pleased to play with plump puppies and respond to seven prompts about these pets. The worksheet includes five counting questions, one addition question, and one subtraction question. The playful puppies are...

Students play a game called 'Limit 2' and analyse their moves in order to establish a winning strategy. The subtraction game in this activity is one of a number of games in a unit called 'Analysing games' in the above publication.

First graders investigate the differences between shapes.  In this block characteristics instructional activity, 1st graders work in groups to explore blocks, group the blocks by different characteristics, discuss the block...

Sixth graders participate in a question and answer session to begin their understanding. Students complete a practice assignment using color counters. Students' assessment is composed of using color counters to complete an independent...

In this subtraction worksheet, students read the math word problem and then use counters to show the story and write the missing numbers.

Fourth graders complete multiplication, addition, and subtraction problems that all contain regrouping. In this regrouping lesson plan, 4th graders complete worksheets not provided.

Which set has two fewer? Young counters practice with numbers 0-10 and beginning subtraction concepts, focusing on the key term fewer. They examine two sets of undersea animals and check the one with two fewer than the other....

How fun! Beginning counters practice with subtraction concepts as they draw apples onto trees and focus on the term fewer. The first tree pictured here has nine apples, and they count and record the number. On the next tree (which...

Help learners solve problems using multiplication and repeated addition. Using counters, learners will be paired up to solve problems. They will go through a series of questions and show models with the counters for the solution. Then...

First graders listen to the book, So Many Cats, and discuss the number of cats in the story. They demonstrate simple addition problems using cat counters and a work mat in the shape of a house.

Young mathematicians listen to the book Sold!: A Mathematics Adventure by Nathan Zimelman where they encounter ways to solve story problems. They then create and solve start unknown addition and subtraction equations. Resource builds in...

Elementary schoolers solve two-step equations and practice money concepts. They solve multi-step addition and subtraction contextual problems and apply money concepts to real life situations. Pupils use pictures and counters to help them...

In a comprehensive and well-outlined series of activities, the class investigates how division is the same as repeated subtraction. During guided practice, they take notes on turning sample word problems into solvable equations and...

Students read a book and complete exercises to explore the meaning of 'equals.' In this equal numbers lesson, students brainstorm the meaning of equals and read a story about the topic. Students use manipulatives to study balance and...

Students use the zero principle to add integers. In this algebra lesson, students add positive and negative integers verifying the zero principle. They use manipulatives to help them see how opposites can cancel each other out.

Students subtract to 10 through the use of manipulatives. They will use craft sicks and the fact family on their practice pages. They examine how subtracting one always uses the larger number first.

Students add and subtract integers. In this algebra lesson plan, students discuss number sense as they sort numbers in the correct order. They analyze and label numbers differentiating between rational and irrational numbers.

Students add and subtract integers.  In this integer lesson, students use models to demonstrte the addition and subtraction of integers.  They describe zero pairs and write steps to add and subtract integers.
