Integer temperatures

Today we used our cold, cold Winter as inspiration for our lesson on integers.  Here's what we accomplished:

We also assessed Winter and Summer temperatures across the lower 48 to determine the best location to live...  The winner was Florida!!!

I hope that you enjoyed these activities!  I had fun!  Thanks to Virginia, NO HOMEWORK!

Integers

Today we started working with integers!  Read below if you are confused or need a reminder.  More tomorrow!!!

Homework is to complete the worksheet (looks like ^) for homework if you didn't complete it in class.  It should be very quick!  Good luck!  See you tomorrow!!!

So you want to study for the final test of the year...

Good!  You should!  This test is manageable, but the more you prepare, the better you will do!

Want to practice a particular skill?  Go to this link and print out worksheets (and answer keys) on various topics!  Adding, subtracting, and comparing and ordering!

Want to work on word problems?  This link has worksheets with word problems.  The site asks you to sign up, but I was able to view and print the worksheets without signing up.  There's also a game on the bottom of the page!

More printable worksheets from EdHelper.com!

Examples of writing expressions and solving word problems from class:

Remember to think of little story problems in your head as you work on these types of math problems.  Examples:

9 + (-7) = ____    Story:  I have 9 dollars (the positive amount) and I owe my friend 7 dollars (the negative amount).  How much will I have left after paying her?  Since I have more than I owe, I will have a positive amount left over, $2.

-21 + (-3) = ____ Story:  I owe Miss M $21 and I owe Mrs. Phelps $3.  How much do I owe in total?  Well, I owe 21 and 3, so I owe 24 dollars, or -24.

13 - (-5) = ____  Before the story, we want to change the problem so that we add the opposite.  The problem would then look like 13 + (+5) = ____ and the story would be that I had 13 dollars in my pocket and 5 dollars in my purse, so I therefore have a total of $18.

Please review your previous assignments, use that purple sheet to practice (answers are in this post), print out extra review sheets for any topics that you want to practice, watch the videos, play the games and read the notes from this previous post.

Good Luck!  Study!  I know that you can all do a great job on this test!  Finish off the year with a bang!

Final Test of the Year on Wednesday!

Keep studying!  We will correct the white paper in class tomorrow.  I will post the answers to the purple paper too, but thought I would put them up on here in case you wanted to correct the paper at home or want to continue doing work and correcting tomorrow!  Good Luck and keep up the studying!

Reviewing adding and subtracting integers.

Here's a million things to review this weekend:  I will add more when I can!





This one is great and very clear.  We don't use absolute value yet, but if it makes sense to you, go for it!


A video created by students.  This uses the number line.


Game:  Make your teacher walk the plank!

Game:  Jeopardy!  (just do the adding and subtracting categories!)

Game:  Drive a car forward and backward to solve problems!

Game:  Line Jumper!  Determine where a plane will be on a number line.  Try the Really Hard or Super Brain levels!

Practice:  Play with chips to solve problems!

Practice:  Another one that uses chips to practice!  Subtraction!

Game:  Select two values to equal an integer in the middle of a spider web!  Multiplayer game!

Practice:  Printable worksheet (and answers) to practice adding and subtracting!

Practice:  Printable worksheets!  Scroll down and select either adding or subtracting worksheets to help you practice!

Notes:  How you can add and subtract integers!  This one uses a number line.

Notes:  Another lesson on adding and subtracting integers.  This one uses counters/chips.

Study, study, study.  Practice, practice, practice!!!

Adding and Subtracting Integers

Here are some videos to help you with the adding and subtracting of integers... Remember to take your time working on the homework.  I am more concerned about you understanding the concept than getting it done quickly.

Integer introduction!

Pretty much everything I could say about this topic was said in class.  Notes from today's lesson are below and down at the bottom of the post, you can find the game we played in class!

The Game!

Tonight's homework is to complete the two worksheets even though many of you finished in class.  Good luck and have a great day!
