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
