8. Using Positive and Negative Numbers in ContextProjector Resources Instructions for Working Together 1.Take turns to place cards. 2.When it is your turn, connect two City Temperature cards using a Changes in Temperature arrow card. –Figure out any missing temperatures. –Give reasons explaining your calculations. 3.If others in your group disagree, they should explain why. Then figure out the answer together. 4.When you have reached an agreement, write your solution in the box on the card. 5.Ignore the dashed lines on the cards, for now. We will be using them later.
