Unit 2

Integers

"In this unit, students will add and subtract integers concretely, pictorially and symbolically. They will build upon prior experience with positive and negative numbers to represent real-life situations. Using models, such as counters and number lines, to add and subtract integers should enhance understanding of integers as they pertain to size and direction. Work with zero pairs will be important as students concretely add and subtract integers. Students will progress to adding and subtracting integers symbolically. They will generalize and apply rules for these integer operations. Proficiency with integers is crucial to future work with algebra. It is necessary when evaluating algebraic expressions and solving equations. It allows students to graph relations using all four quadrants. Work with integers will be applied to future study of rational expressions, and extended to irrational and real numbers. It continues to build number sense, preparing students for a wide range of problem solving activities." - Grade 7 Curriculum Guide
