With Spring Break coming to an end, I am busy planning for next week. Math is bringing us integers and I am hoping my little darlings don't get too confused!! I created a number line for them that I will laminate and stick to the top of their desks so they don't have to squint to see the one on my wall!! Click on the picture below if you need one for your darlings: The Common Core doesn't get into integers until the 6th grade, but it is a part of my curriculum, so I can't not do them!!! I am sure most of you are in the same boat as well. I honestly believe that students need to "meet" integers before the 6th grade. So, I am in the process of creating some fun integer games and task cards. The first few are focused on just ordering and comparing positive and negative numbers. I will soon be looking into creating products to help with adding and subtracting positive and negative numbers. This is a fun twist on the old card game, War. It is played the exact same way as well. The students lay out a card and the highest card wins. The person holding all the cards at the end is the winner.
