Lesson Plan: Adding and Subtracting Integers

Grade: 7 Subject: Mathematics

Introduction: - Begin the lesson by asking students if they have ever encountered situations where they needed to add or subtract positive and negative numbers. - Discuss real-life examples such as temperature changes, bank account balances, or elevations. - Explain that today’s lesson will focus on adding and subtracting integers, which are positive and negative whole numbers.

Lesson Outline:

  1. Review of Positive and Negative Numbers:
    • Recap the concept of positive and negative numbers.
    • Discuss the number line and how positive numbers are to the right of zero, while negative numbers are to the left.
  2. Adding Integers: a. Introduce the concept of adding integers with the same sign:
    • Explain that when adding two positive numbers, the sum is positive.
    • Demonstrate examples on the board and encourage students to participate. b. Introduce the concept of adding integers with different signs:
    • Explain that when adding a positive and a negative number, we subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger one.
    • Provide examples and allow students to practice with partners. c. Provide additional practice problems and worksheets for individual work.
    • Video resource: “Adding Integers” - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vZwKv3wLfc
  3. Subtracting Integers: a. Introduce the concept of subtracting integers:
    • Explain that subtracting a positive number is the same as adding its opposite (negative) value.
    • Demonstrate examples on the board and encourage students to participate. b. Introduce the concept of subtracting a negative number:
    • Explain that subtracting a negative number is the same as adding its positive value.
    • Provide examples and allow students to practice with partners. c. Provide additional practice problems and worksheets for individual work.
    • Video resource: “Subtracting Integers” - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vZwKv3wLfc

Questioning: - Throughout the lesson, ask students questions to check their understanding and engage them in discussions. - Examples of questions: 1. What happens when we add two positive numbers? 2. How do we add a positive and a negative number? 3. Can you explain the process of subtracting a negative number?

Assessment: - Distribute a worksheet with a variety of adding and subtracting integer problems. - Monitor students’ progress and provide assistance as needed. - Review the completed worksheets to assess students’ understanding of the topic.

Differentiation: - For students who need additional support, provide manipulatives such as number lines or counters to help visualize the addition and subtraction of integers. - For advanced students, provide more challenging problems that involve multiple operations or require critical thinking.

Plenary: - Summarize the key concepts covered in the lesson. - Ask students to share any challenges they faced and how they overcame them. - Provide additional practice problems or a game to reinforce the concepts learned. - Encourage students to ask any remaining questions or seek clarification on any topic.

Worksheet Resources: 1. Adding and Subtracting Integers Worksheet - https://www.mathworksheets4kids.com/integers/add-subtract/level1.pdf 2. Integer Operations Worksheet - https://www.superteacherworksheets.com/integer/integer-operations.pdf

Note: The provided video resource covers both adding and subtracting integers.

    • Demonstrate examples on the board and encourage students to participate. b. Introduce the concept of adding integers with different signs:
    • Explain that when adding a positive and a negative number, we subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger one and keep the sign of the number with the larger absolute value.
    • Provide examples and allow students to practice with partners. c. Introduce the concept of adding multiple integers:
    • Explain that when adding more than two integers, we can group them in pairs and add them together.
    • Provide examples and allow students to practice with partners. d. Provide additional practice problems and worksheets for individual work.

How do we add a positive and a negative number? 3. Can you explain the process of subtracting a negative number? 4. How can we add or subtract multiple integers at once?

Assessment: - Distribute a worksheet with a variety of adding and subtracting integer problems, including more complex problems involving multiple operations. - Monitor students’ progress and provide assistance as needed. - Review the completed worksheets to assess students’ understanding of the topic.

Differentiation: - For students who need additional support, provide manipulatives such as number lines or counters to help visualize the addition and subtraction of integers. - For advanced students, provide more challenging problems that involve multiple operations, parentheses, or require critical thinking.

Plenary: - Summarize the key concepts covered in the lesson. - Ask students to share any challenges they faced and how they overcame them. - Provide additional practice problems or a game to reinforce the concepts learned. - Encourage students to ask any remaining questions or seek clarification on any topic.
