ENRICHMENT ACTIVITY

Integers are everywhere — not just in math class! This poster will help you visualize how positive and negative numbers are used in real-world situations. You’ll include 4 scenarios, each with a drawing or picture, a label, and a short explanation. 

🎯 Goal of the Poster:

To show how integers (positive and negative numbers) are used in real-life situations through drawings, labels, and short explanations.

🔍 Step 1: Understand What Integers Are

• Integers include:
   ➕ Positive numbers (like +5)
   ➖ Negative numbers (like –3)
   0 (zero — the center point between positive and negative)

• We use them to show:  - Gains or losses
   - Increases or decreases
   - Directions (above or below, up or down)
   - Temperatures, money, elevations, game scores, etc.

💡 Step 2: Brainstorm Real-Life Situations

• Think about places or moments where integers are used. Here are some examples to inspire you:

Scenario Integer Example     Why It Uses Integers

Weather Forecast –5°C Below 0°C shows freezing temperatures

Bank Transactions +₱500 or –₱300 Deposits are positive, withdrawals are negative

Video Games –20 points Losing or gaining points uses integers

Elevation/Altitude –100 m or +300 m Above and below sea level

Sports Scores –2 foul points Deductions or bonus points

Business Profits +₱1000 or –₱450 Profit and loss are tracked with integers

Electricity Bill –kWh (savings) Energy usage and conservation

🎨 Step 3: Choose 4 Scenarios for Your Poster

Pick four examples that you can clearly illustrate and explain. Choose the ones you:

• See in real life
  
  

• Understand well
  
  

• Can draw easily

🖍️ Step 4: Design Your Poster

• Divide the paper into 4 sections or create a creative layout.
  
  

• For each scenario, include:  ✔ A drawing or printed image
   ✔ A label/title (e.g., "Banking with Integers")
   ✔ A short explanation (1–2 sentences about how integers are used)
  
  

• Make sure your work is colorful, organized, and accurate.
  
  

🧼 Final Tips:

   ✅ Use color to show positive (blue/green) and negative (red/orange) numbers
✅ Add speech bubbles, arrows, or fun characters
✅ Write neatly and check your spelling
✅ Make it meaningful — show your creativity and effort!
