Lesson Topic:

Addition and Subtraction of Integers

Learning Objectives

By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:

1. Understand and apply the rules for adding and subtracting integers.

2. Solve real-life problems involving addition and subtraction of integers.

3. Demonstrate the ability to add and subtract integers using various strategies, including number
lines and integer chips.

Assessments

1. Formative Assessments:

o Quick check-in questions to assess understanding during the lesson.

o Observational assessment as students work with integer chips or on number lines.

2. Summative Assessments:

o A worksheet with mixed addition and subtraction problems.

o Real-life application problems where students demonstrate understanding.

3. Self-assessment:

o Exit tickets where students reflect on their comfort with integer addition and
subtraction.

Differentiated Activities

1. For Visual Learners:

o Use a number line to visually show movement when adding or subtracting integers.

2. For Kinesthetic Learners:

o Allow students to use integer chips or counters to represent positive and negative
values.
3. For Advanced Students:

o Provide complex word problems that involve multiple steps and integers in context, like
temperature changes or financial transactions.

4. For Struggling Students:

o Simplify by focusing first on either addition or subtraction before mixing both


operations.

o Pair them with peers for guided practice and provide extra visual aids.

Open-Ended Questions

1. How would you explain to someone why subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a
positive number?

2. Can you think of a real-life situation where you might need to add or subtract negative
numbers? Explain how you would solve it.

3. What patterns do you notice when adding and subtracting integers on a number line?

Hands-On Activities

1. Integer Chips Activity:

o Give each student a set of integer chips (two colors: one for positive and one for
negative).

o Have them solve problems by physically adding or removing chips, helping them
visualize the concept.

2. Human Number Line:

o Create a large number line on the floor.

o Have students stand at a starting integer and move forward (addition) or backward
(subtraction) according to given problems.

Connecting to Real-Life Activities

1. Bank Account Balances:


o Describe scenarios involving deposits and withdrawals as positive and negative integers.

o Have students calculate balances to reinforce the concept.

2. Temperature Changes:

o Use temperature rises and falls, especially in areas where temperatures can go below
zero.

o Present daily temperature changes and ask students to calculate final temperatures.

3. Elevation Problems:

o Talk about elevations above and below sea level as positive and negative integers.

o Students can solve problems involving hikes up a mountain (positive integers) and diving
underwater (negative integers).

Closing Activities

1. Exit Ticket:

o A quick three-question ticket where students:

 Solve one addition problem.

 Solve one subtraction problem.

 Answer a reflection question, like "What’s one thing that still confuses you
about today’s lesson?"

2. Class Discussion:

o Review key concepts by discussing the steps and rules for addition and subtraction.

o Invite students to share one thing they learned that could help them outside of math
class.

3. Reflection Journal:

o Have students write a brief entry summarizing their understanding and noting any
lingering questions.
