INTEGERS By Joni Karels

The target audience for my Mind Map are students in grades 3-5. Teachers should be able to use this interactive lesson as well, to help teach students as a whole class, in groups, in partners, and individual learning. The goal of my mindmap is for teachers to try to figure out a scenario that would require students to evaluate the type of expression you are wanting them to evaluate using integers. Students will be able to use this tool to learn what integers are. They will be taught how to find absolute value of an integer, as well as being able to solve equations with the use of a number line and with colored counters. The areas of concentration will be on addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of integers; using both positive and negative numbers. The resources that are apart of my mind map consist of youtube tutorials, mathblogs, games, lesson plans, pintrest, and wordpress, to name a few.

Why Learn about integers?

1. ADDITION OF INTEGERS

r

The Student will be able to:Recognize that the sum of two negative integers is a negative integer.Perform addition of tow positive and integers.Describe the procedure for adding integers with unlike signs.Describe and use absolute value.Recognize that the sum of any integer and its opposite is equal to zero.Apply the procedures for adding integers to complete exercises.

Adding and Subtracting Integers

2. SUBTRACTION OF INTEGERS

r

The students will be able to:Perform subtraction of integers using a number line.Perform subtraction of integers using colored counters.Recognize the need for an arithmetic procedure for subtracting large integers.Perform subtraction of integers using arithmetic procedure.Apply the procedure for subtracting integers to complete exercises.

3. MULTIPLICATION OF INTEGERS

r

The students will be able to:Restate that the product of two integers with unlike signs is a negative integer.Restate that the product of two integers with like signs is a positive integer.Define the Associative Law of Multiplication.Perform multiplication of two integers with like signs and unlike signs.Apply the procedures for multiplying integers to complete exercises.

Multiplying and Dividing Integers

4. DIVISION OF INTEGERS

r

The students will be able to:Restate that the quotient of two integers with unlike signs is a negative integer.Restate that the quotient of two integers with like signs is a positive integer.Perform division of two integers with like signs.Perform division of two integers with unlike signs.Describe the procedure for dividing integers with like sign; with unlike signs.Apply the procedures for the division of integers to examples.
