Adding Integers Using Chips

• -3 + -4 =• 2 + -2 =• -5 + 6 = • 4 + -7 =• -1 + 8 =•

Rules for Adding/Subtracting Integers using a number line

• Start at zero and face in the positive direction

• A positive number means take steps forward, a negative number means take steps back

• Addition means your body stays in the same direction

• Subtraction means your body flips direction

Adding & Subtracting Integers Using a Number Line

• -3 + -4 =• 2 – ( -2) =• -5 + 6 = • 4 + -7 =• -1 – 8 =• -8 – (-4)

Ratios

• Using foreign Currency to show ratios– Use Visuals to demonstrate property– Pick touristic places and describe some of the
