PLEASE NOTE: This lesson does NOT cover separate ideas for adding & subtracting integers (“adding a negative” vs. “subtracting a negative”); Instead, it requires students to first simplify any double signs before evaluating the expression, then relies on consistent rules depending on if the signs of the numbers are the same or opposite.

Particularly, with the topic of integers, students REALLY need to be fast and fluent with their facts. Quizzing & drilling constantly is one way to achieve that… however, these games will help break up the monotony and build the solid foundation they will need to be able to keep a good pace with problem solving later on. 1) There are several games to choose from, each a different difficulty & pace. 2) Prepare to take time to explain the rules in detail to make sure students understand how

Teaching style

I believe in balance when teaching math--a balance between the systematic and the exploratory. My classroom has a routine, but variations of lesson styles within the general structure. I love asking "why" and then "why" again. I also believe in the power of positivity--complimenting hard work and giving attention to the good. Treating students as if you are on the same team instead of making it a point to exercise your authority over them always builds stronger relationships, and thus builds their confidence and performance. My trademark is developing spiraling and/or cumulative review. This shows up in daily starters, weekly/bi-weekly quizzes, and cumulative review study guides. If they don't keep practicing it, they'll lose it! The resources I make for TpT, I'm actually making for my own classroom--and I never sit down to make an activity without a copy of the standards (GSE/Common Core) in my hands!

Additional biographical information

Originally from rural Western New York State, I now live in slightly less-rural Tennessee with my husband (who immigrated to the US from New Zealand!), our little daughter, and one cat. Five of my seven siblings and three cousins live close by with their families--the same people who aggravated me as a child are now my absolute best friends. Since the birth of my daughter, I have had the amazing opportunity to take time away from teaching and stay home with her. However, I still can't resist creating all of the resources I would be using if I were still in the classroom!
