This foldable walks students through the use of number line models and integer chip models as an introduction to adding integers. Multiple representations are great for students just starting to work with integers and understand those relationships! Practice problems start off with small numbers that can easily be modeled with chips or on a number line, and as students start to see patterns, they can apply the integer rules on their own with larger numbers. This leads to great whole-class discussions as students start to see patterns emerge! For some added fun, a sheet of printable "number line men" are included so each student can see how the number line method works - up close and personal! :)

JUST ADDED - a Spanish version of the foldable, too!

The foldable prints front to back on an 8.5x11 piece of paper. The included file is a non-editable PDF.

Once my students have started to get the hang of it, I like assigning this Adding Integers Puzzle Pixel Art Activity as classwork!
