Looking for a scaffolded, differentiated, and no prep lesson on subtracting integers without using a number line for your 7th grade students? Students learn subtracting as adding the opposite. After rewriting subtraction expressions as addition, students follow the rules of adding integers.

This lesson includes everything you need for instruction: slides, scaffolded guided notes for students, do now, exit ticket, and 3 levels of scaffolded and differentiated worksheets!

Students love how easy these slides and notes are to follow and understand. A fill in the blank notes sheet allows students to focus on instruction! Short and concise notes are clear, explicit, and useful for when students need a reference to refresh their memory. The differentiated practice set is a great way for students to learn and practice subtracting integers without using a number line. No-prep and ready to use! 

This product includes: 

• Do Now (with answer key) 
• Slide Deck using Google Slides
• Student Notes Sheet (aligns with slide deck, includes answer key) 
• Leveled Practice Set / Worksheets
  • 3 versions (10 problems each) with answer key
  • 1 question is the same across all 3 practice sets to serve as a teachable moment 
  • Answers across all 3 practice sets match for easy grading!!
• Exit Ticket (printable with answer key and digital self-graded) 
• Homework (with answer key) 

This lesson aligns well with: 

CCSS: 

• 7.NS.1c: Understand subtraction of rational numbers as adding the additive inverse, p – q = p + (–q). Show that the distance between two rational numbers on the number line is the absolute value of their difference, and apply this principle in real-world contexts.

NGLS:

• NY-7.NS.1c: Understand subtraction of rational numbers as adding the additive inverse, p – q = p + (–q). Show that the distance between two rational numbers on the number line is the absolute value of their difference, and apply this principle in real-world contexts.
