Table of Contents Lesson 1:What are integers? Lesson 2: How do I add integers? Lesson 3: How do I subtract integers? Lesson 4: How do I multiply integers? Lesson 5: How do I divide integers? Lesson 6: How do I solve an expression that may contain integers using the order of operations? Essential Question: Students will write the essential question for each lesson on the next clean page of their notebooks. Any notes for the essential question will go directly below and continue until a new essential question.

EQ: What are Integers? Compare Compare a number line to a thermometer. Table of Contents Compare Compare a number line to a thermometer. How are they alike? How are they different? Activating Strategy: Give students 2 minutes to brainstorm with a partner ways that a thermometer is like and unlike a number line. When time is up, call on students to share their ideas. Write their ideas on the board. EQ: What are Integers?

EQ: What are Integers? Key Vocabulary Table of Contents Key Vocabulary Integer: The set of whole numbers and their opposites. Not a decimal or a fraction Example: …, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3… … means to continue with no end The opposite of 1 is -1 Construct Meaning: Students will write the key vocabulary under the essential question. Discuss what an integer means. EQ: What are Integers?

EQ: What are Integers? Positive vs. Negative Positive integers Table of Contents Positive vs. Negative Positive integers Integers greater than zero Shown with a + or no sign Example: 3, +3, (+3) Negative Integers Integers less than zero Shown with a – -3, (-3) *Zero is neither positive or negative Construct Meaning: Students need to be able to recognize positive and negative integers when working with integers. A parentheses () will often help keep the problem organized so students don’t get confused as to what is a positive/negative sign vs. a plus/minus sign. EQ: What are Integers?

EQ: What are Integers? Real-Life Words Positive Integer (+) Table of Contents Real-Life Words Positive Integer (+) Negative Integer (-) Up Down Forward Backward Gain Lost Organize: Real life situations involve integers as well. Students should be familiar with the following terms and if they denote a positive or negative integer: Up (+) Down (-) Forward (+) Backward (-) Gain (+) Loose (-) * Have students think of more words that they might see to show positive and negative integers.

EQ: What are Integers? Examples Table of Contents Examples Write an integer for the following situations. 1. The Dead Sea is 1,312 feet below sea level. -1,312 feet 2. Cecilia lost 5 pounds. -5 pounds 3. The quarterback gained 6 yards on the play. + 6 yards 4. A helicopter rises 75 feet in the air. + 75 feet Construct Meaning: Go through the examples. Prompt students in the beginning to get the answers you are looking for. Say things like: Would you write 1,312 as a positive or a negative integer? Ask students to tell which word gave them a hint that they needed to use positive or negative. As you work your way through examples, students will need less support. EQ: What are Integers?

EQ: What are Integers? Comparing Integers Use a number line Table of Contents Comparing Integers Use a number line Numbers get smaller Numbers get bigger Construct Models: Students need to understand that as you move right on the number line, integers get bigger, and as you move left on the number line numbers get smaller. EQ: What are Integers?

EQ: What are Integers? Examples Table of Contents Examples Graph the following integers on the number line. 1. + 9 2. -7 3. 3 Construct Models: Show students how to graph integers on a number line. EQ: What are Integers?

BUT EQ: What are Integers? Bigger or Smaller? Table of Contents Bigger or Smaller? Integers can get tricky so watch out! A bigger positive = bigger number BUT A bigger negative = smaller number Think of the number line for help! Store: Students need to be careful when working with integers. Bigger negatives really mean smaller numbers. Have them think about a number line or a thermometer when working with negatives. I would rather is be -5 degrees then -20 degrees because -20 is way smaller temperatures. EQ: What are Integers?

EQ: What are Integers? Its Way too Cold!!!! Think about it! Table of Contents Its Way too Cold!!!! Think about it! Would you rather it be -5 degrees or -20 degrees? Which one is colder? Which one is a smaller number? Store: Students need to be careful when working with integers. Bigger negatives really mean smaller numbers. Have them think about a number line or a thermometer when working with negatives. I would rather is be -5 degrees then -20 degrees because -20 is way smaller temperatures. EQ: What are Integers?

EQ: What are Integers? Examples Table of Contents Examples Use <, >, or = to compare the following integers. 1. + 3; -1 +3 > -1 2. -8; -4 -8 < -4 3. 0; -2 0 > - 2 EQ: What are Integers?

How do you solve this using integer chips? -5 – 4 First, you need 5 negative integer chips. Next, subtraction tells you to take 4 positive integer chips away. There are no positive integer chips to take away. We must add 4 zero pairs Now, take away 4 positive integer chips. What is left is the answer. -5 – 4 = -9 - - - - - - - - - + + + +

Subtracting Integers Keep-Change-Change Keep the first integer the same Change – to + Change the second integer to its opposite Now follow the rules for adding integers. Same Signs Sum Different Signs Difference

4 + - (+5) (-5) Example 1. 4 – (-5) Now, you have 4 + (+5) Same Signs Sum: 4 + 5 = 9 Keep Change Change 4 + - (+5) (-5)

-3 + - (-2) 2 Example 2. -3 – 2 Now, you have -3 + (-2) Same Signs Sum: -3 + (-2) = -5 Keep Change Change -3 + - (-2) 2
