How I Use These Products:

STUDENT NOTES: The student notes provide an introduction to each concept.  I use these as guided notes with manipulatives.  My favorite integer manipulatives are spacers from the hardware store.  Use half the bag as they come because they look like positives and cut the top and bottom off the other half of the spacers to appear as negatives.  These work great on student desks so they can explore the relationships and rules of integers.  Following development of the rules, I provide additional examples to use as practice as well as word problems for real-world application.

DIGITAL SELF-CHECKING MYSTERY RIDDLE ACTIVITY: After notes and examples, students can demonstrate their understanding of the content using the self-checking digital mystery riddle activities.  There are 16 questions for both the integers and absolute value lesson and all four operations, and then 9 questions each for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.  

Please keep in mind that students will each need their own copy of the digital activity.  Students simply need to type their answer into the answer box.  If they are correct, the box will turn green and part of the picture will appear.  If they are incorrect, the box will turn red and they need to try again.  When they finish all 9 questions, they will have the answer to the riddle.

I also provided a student work page.  This can be used if you decide to have students complete this as an outside of school assignment and a student does not have Internet access.  Some of my students prefer to have the questions on paper as well, so I always provide both options.  I encourage students to use this paper to show their work when answering the expressions.

Getting Started:

1. Print 1 copy of the student notes and the student work page per student.
2. Complete the notes together as a class.
3. Students complete the digital self-checking mystery riddle activity to demonstrate their understanding, while having fun.

COLOR BY NUMBER ACTIVITY:

I have also used this activity as both a station activity or at home assignment to help review operations.  My students always get excited for these.

This activity needs to be printed for students to complete.  If you are looking to get your students away from a screen, but still have fun with an activity, this is perfect.  There is no technology needed!

I also provided the answer key for worksheet as well as an example of what the finished picture will look like with color.

Getting Started:

1. Print 1 copy of the Color by Number problem page and one coloring page per student. I typically use two separate pieces of paper so students do not need to flip. (You can also print the Mystery Riddle work page on the other side to save paper.)
2. Distribute to students and let the fun begin!

Special Thanks to Lindsay Bowden for providing an awesome template for the mystery picture activity!
