Introduce integers by having students translate real-world scenarios into positive, negative, or zero values. Students will read 55 short situations including words like deposit, withdrawal, increase, decrease, above, below, debt, sea level, discount, descend, and more. Each of these situations corresponds to an integer. These scenarios will prepare students for later word problems involving integers.

In my classroom, I turned this activity into a Connect Four game [example]. Once they correctly solved a horizontal row of problems, they earned a turn! If you want to do it this way, you will need a different color of Post-it notes for each team. I've never seen students more excited to correct their errors!
