Name: _______________________________________________________________________________ Date: _____/_____/__________ PART ONE -- NUMBER LINES Example: 2 + (-5) = -3 Use the below number lines to model the given addition problems: = _____ (-3) = _____ (-3) = _____ = _____ (-6)= _____ PURPOSE: To practice adding integers with both number lines and algebra tiles. PURPOSE: To practice adding integers with both number lines and algebra tiles.
= _____ (-1) = _____ = _____ (-8) = _____ (-5)= _____ = _____ (-1) = _____ = ______
Directions: Draw tiles onto below mats in order to model given problems (you may use “+” signs for positives and “-” signs for negatives: Adding Two Positives: 1.Represent in the mat below.2. Represent in the mat below = ______ 8 + 3= ______ 3. Represent in the mat below.4. Represent in the mat below = ______ 4 + 6= ______ 5.What do you notice about all of your above answers? 6. In the space below, write a rule for adding two positive numbers. PART TWO – Algebra Tiles Example: = 19 Key: = Positive = Negative ADDING “SAME” SIGNS: + -
Adding Two Negatives: 7. Represent in the mat below.8. Represent in the mat below = ______ = ______ 9. Represent in the mat below. 10. Represent in the mat below = ______ = ______ 11. What do you notice about all of the above answers? 12. In the space below, write a rule for adding two negatives. 13. Write a rule that works for both adding two positives and adding two negatives.
Example: 6 + (-3) = 3 1.In your own words, define zero pair. 2.When adding a positive # and a negative #, will you always have zero pairs? 3. Represent in the mat to the right. Circle the zero pair(s). How many zero pairs are in the problem ? ____ What is the solution to ? ____ 4. Represent 4 + (-1) in the mat to the right. Circle the zero pair(s). How many zero pairs are in the problem? ____ What is the solution to 4 + (-1 )? ____ 5. Represent in the mat to the right. Circle the zero pair(s). How many zero pairs are in the problem? ____ What is the solution to ? ____ Key: = Positive = Negative The zero pairs are circled. We remove zero pairs! Step One: Step Two: Answer:The answer is “3” because there are 3 positives left over. ADDING “DIFFERENT” SIGNS: + -
6. Represent in the mat to the right. Circle the zero pair(s). How many zero pairs are in the problem ? _____ What is the solution to ? _____ 7. Represent 2 + (-3) in the mat to the right. Circle the zero pair(s). How many zero pairs are in the problem ? _____ What is the solution to 2 + (-3) ? _____ 8. Represent in the mat to the right. Circle the zero pair(s). How many zero pairs are in the problem ? _____ What is the solution to ? _____ 9. Represent 3 + (-5) in the mat to the right. Circle the zero pair(s). How many zero pairs are in the problem ? _____ What is the solution to 3 + (-5) ? _____ 10. Why are some answers positive and some answers negative? 11. How can you predict the sign of the sum (answer) before you actually “do the math”? 12. Write a rule that works for adding integers with different signs. In your opinion, which method is better– number lines or algebra tiles? Why?
