1.0 Numbers
- 1.1 Integers6 lessonsFree sample
Learning outcomes
- identify integers in different situations
- represent integers on a number line in different situations
- carry out operations of addition and subtraction integers on the number line in real life situations
- use IT or print resources for learning more on integers and for skills development
- reflect on use of integers in real-life situations
Key inquiry questions
- Where do we use integers in real life situations?
- How do we carry out operations of integers?
Learning experiences
- identify integers by carrying out activities involving positive and negative numbers, and zero. For example, climbing upstairs (positive), going down stairs (negative). Others may include standing at a point (the zero point), and count the number of steps moved either forward or backward
- draw and represent integers on number lines on learning materials
- perform operations, including combined operations of integers on a number line
- play creative games that involve number lines, for example jumping steps
- use IT tools or other resources to learn more on operations of integers on number lines
