Instructional Ideas

  • Have each class member summarize the rules for adding integers in their own words

Classroom Considerations

  • Individuals should be familiar with adding integers using a number line

Pros

  • Includes suggestions on how to gauge students' understanding
  • The answer key provides the direction the arrow would point for horizontal and vertical number lines

Cons

  • None
