This is a 10 to 15 minutes match up activity for practice with simplifying integer expressions. There are 12 expressions to simplify, a drawing that represents the expression, a t-chart and the simplified answer. The drawing will help the students visualize when to subtract the integers (when there are zero pairs) and when to add the integers (when there are no zero pairs.) The t-chart shows how the expressions can be solved without a drawing. The reason for matching up the drawing with the

There are 36 printable cards with integer term expressions and solutions. Students can use the stand up, hands up and pair up activity to quiz each other on these basic integer term expressions. This is a great way to build classroom culture and practice math at the same time. You can also print these cards without the answers on the back but instead with the solutions on a separate page. If you do this you can use them in as station activity, kids can match up the expressions with the solut
