Understanding Integers
📚 Part 1: Quick Check — Identifying & Ordering
✏️ Part 2: Representing & Calculating
🔎 Reflection, Success Criteria & Differentiation
- I can place positive, negative and zero correctly on a number line.
- I can explain opposites and why a number plus its opposite equals zero.
- I can add and subtract integers using integer chips or a number line and justify my method.
- For students needing more support: use a number line with labelled points and give smaller-magnitude problems (e.g. within ±5); provide sentence starters such as "The opposite of ... is ... because ...".
- For visual/kinaesthetic learners: work with integer chips in pairs and act out jumps on a floor number line.
- Explain why adding a number and its opposite always gives zero and show this with an algebraic expression (e.g. a + (−a) = 0).
- Challenge: Solve and explain the sign of the answer for (-3) + 8 + (-10) without using chips or a number line.
