1. Wednesday, August 19, 2015 We are learning to…add and subtract positive and negative integers with Algebra Tiles.

2.  Subtraction means …to take away, so to show this with chips we will have to…start with a certain amount of chips and then take away from that group. 4 -5 Now try: PROBLEM ? -6 0 -7

3. Solution: ◦ Add in “Zero Pairs” until you have enough negative (or positives) to take away! ◦ A Zero Pair is a positive and a negative Algebra Tile. ◦ Since the two chips cancel each other, you are really adding in zero and not changing the problem.  Remember: + = 0 6

4. 9 -11 9 -14 -8 3 Now try a few assessment questions to test your skills adding and subtraction integers!
