INTEGERS Definitions: consists of all positive, negative numbers and zero. Manipulatives: (common) 1. Two-sided coloured disks (or two different coloured disks) - one colour represents positive (yellow), the other colour represents negative (red). [could also use coins, popsicle sticks (one side coloured)…] Number lines- movement to the right represents positive, movement to the left represents negative.
Peers! If you had six friends who were in with the wrong crowd and six friends who were in with the good crowd, how would you turn out? Good crowd: + + + + + + Bad crowd: _ _ _ _ _ _
ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION • You should provide students the opportunity to recognize that the addition and subtraction of equal amounts of (+) and (-) disks has a result of zero. • Go to: http://matti.usu.edu/nlvm/nav/frames_asid_122_g_3_t_1.html?open=instructions
Addition with Integers Pos Neg 4 + 5 = 9 positives
Addition with Integers 3 + (-5) =
Addition with Integers 3 + (-5) = There are 2 negatives remaining One positive and one negative make zero
Addition with Integers -6 + 2 =
Addition with Integers -6 + 2 =
Addition with Integers -6 + 2 = There are 4 negatives remaining
Subtraction with Integers 5 – 2 =
Subtraction with Integers -5 – (+2) =
Subtraction with Integers -5 – (+2) = Problem arises because we don’t have 2 positives to take away
Subtraction with Integers -5 – (+2) = We can add nothing by adding the same number of positives and negatives
Subtraction with Integers -5 – (+2) = Now we can take away the two positives and we are left with 7 negatives
Subtraction with Integers • 4 – (-5) = We do not have 5 negatives to subtract
Subtraction with Integers • 4 – (-5) = Therefore let’s add one positive and one negative (zero, really)
Subtraction with Integers • 4 – (-5) = Therefore let’s add one positive and one negative (zero, really)
MULTIPLICATION • Should be an extension of multiplication of whole numbers. (This is easy when the first integer is positive) eg.) 2 x -3 = two groups of negative three 4 x 5 = easy!! • Much more complicated when the first integer is negative A total of 6 negative things
Demands that students become familiar with integer language (alternative words for negative and positive) eg.) -2 x -3 means ‘remove’ 2 sets of -3 Start with ‘zero’
Demands that students become familiar with integer language (alternative words for negative and positive) eg.) -2 x -3 means ‘remove’ 2 sets of -3 Now, remove 2 sets of negative 3
Demands that students become familiar with integer language (alternative words for negative and positive) eg.) -2 x -3 means ‘remove’ 2 sets of -3 Left with 6 positive things
Try a few • -4 x -2 B. -3 x -3
Try a few • -4 x -2 B. -3 x -3
Try a few • -4 x -2 B. -3 x -3
DIVISION Use the same language as you would for whole numbers but also incorporate the language of integers (synonyms for negative). 1. 6 ÷ 2 = How many sets of 2 can you get from 6? 2. -10 ÷ (-2) = How many sets of -2 can you remove from -10? 3. -8 ÷ 2 = How many sets of +2 can you get from -8?
