| Title: |
Investigating Integers |
| Overview/Annotation: |
Students will create a multimedia presentation to demonstrate their understanding of integers. Within this presentation they will include information on how to compare and order integers and how to add and subtract integers by writing about situations where they may encounter integers. Additionally, they will create a word problem with a solution that reflects their understanding of adding or subtracting negative and positive integers. |
| Content Standard(s): |
| MA(7) | 1. Demonstrate computational fluency with addition, subtraction, and multiplication of integers. | | TC2(6-8) | 5. Use basic features of word processing, spreadsheets, databases, and presentation software. | | TC2(6-8) | 6. Select specific digital tools for completing curriculum-related tasks. |
|
| Local/National Standards: |
|
| Primary Learning Objective(s): |
Students will demonstrate uses of integers in the real world. Students will compare, add and subtract integers based on real-world examples. |
| Additional Learning Objective(s): |
|
| Approximate Duration of the Lesson: |
Greater than 120 Minutes |
| Materials and Equipment: |
Students will need library time to research almanacs (or the web) for situations where integers are used in day-to-day situations. The mathematics textbook should serve as a guide to students as to how to appropriately apply integers. |
| Technology Resources Needed: |
Computers with Internet access, Microsoft PowerPoint or other multimedia presentation software |
| Background/Preparation: |
Students must be familiar with presentation software to be used prior to the lesson or additional time will be needed to familiarize thems with the software. Grouping students based on experience with presentation software may be helpful. Students will need to research almanacs or the Web for real-life situations that utilize positive and negative integers. Examples might include (but are not limited to) records on temperatures, height above and below sea level, football game statistics, timelines, and the national debt. |
| Procedures/Activities: |
1.)Students will utilize the following sample layout:
Slide 1: Name of Students on the team, Grade Level, School, and Date.
Slide 2-3: Identify a situation that you can describe by using positive and negative integers. Give two examples of integers from your situation.
Slide 4-5: Identify a situation that shows how integers are compared. Give an example of comparing integers.
Slide 6-7: Write a word problem that requires the addition of a positive integer to a negative integer. Then show the solution to the problem.
Slide 8-9: Explain when it is necessary or useful to use zero pairs to model subtraction. Give an example of zero pairs.
2.)Students will be placed into teams with a maximum of four per team. Teams will divide the work so that each student is responsible for two slides.
3.)Students will be given time to research almanacs or the Web for examples of how negative and positive integers are used in day to day situations. The teacher may choose to brainstorm with the students for ideas.
4.)After completion of the research, team members will submit their proposed slide outline to the teacher for approval.
5.)After approval of their plan, team members will use the computer lab or classroom computers to begin entering their information into their presentations.
6.)Students will present their projects to the class.

| Assessment Strategies: |
A teacher-prepared rubric will be used for evaluation of the presentations (see attachment). |
| Extension: |
Additional slides may be added to the presentation to demonstrate deeper understanding of the material. |
| Remediation: |
Students who need extra assistance should be grouped with those who are comfortable with the topic and skills. |
