Teaching Tips

Use number lines extensively for addition and subtraction. Model with two-colored counters or chips. Connect to real contexts (temperature, elevations, bank accounts). Teach rules for multiplication and division clearly. Practice order of operations with integers.

Quick assessment ideas

Test integer operation fluency with mixed problems. Include word problems in temperature, elevation, or financial contexts. Have students model integer operations on number lines. Ask students to explain integer operation rules.
