Integers are also tested through CS 2 (order of operations) and CS 3 (rational numbers). Division of integers is included in the sample test items for CS 3.
Prerequisites
Objective 7.1.1: Identify numbers less than zero by extending the number line. Objective 7.1.2: Solve problems involving basic operations on whole numbers, including addition and subtraction of seven-digit numbers, multiplication with two-digit multipliers, and division with two-digit divisors.
Additional content to be taught:
· Developing algorithms for performing operations on integers
Example: determining a systematic set of steps that can be used to subtract integers
· Using inverse properties of addition and of multiplication
Ideas
CMP unit "Accentuate the Negative" gives a slow introduction to negative numbers and operations with integers.
Teaching Addition and Subtraction of Integers
Have students walk a number line. I taped paper on the wall on which I had written one number per sheet.
Start at zero facing the positive numbers.
Walk forward for a positive number and backwards for a negative number.
Turn around (180º) for subtraction.
This is a great way to show students that adding a negative and subtracting a positive give the same result. They can easily see that walking backwards two steps will put them in the same place as turning around and then walking forward two steps.
Rules for Multiplying and Dividing Integers It is good (+) to love (+), and it is bad (-) to hate (-)!
If you love to love, that is good. (positive x positive = positive)
If you love to hate, that is bad. (positive x negative = negative)
If you hate to love, that is bad. (negative x positive = negative)
If you hate to hate, that is good. (negative x negative = positive)
Interwrite Lesson Evaluate Expressions
Students will evaluate expressions using order of operations and add parentheses to get certain outcomes.
