We began today with an integer dot talk and a quick discussion over rational numbers. They had watched a video yesterday after finishing a pre assessment, so we talked about what they remembered. Next, we played some games that involved integers. Different students played different games depending on their current understanding of adding and subtracting integers. Some students played the Balloon Race game we played last week, but today we played it with a "Mathematicians Eye." They wrote down the equations that were created through out their games and looked for patterns or what they noticed about how the answers were found. They completed the Analyzing the Balloon Game worksheet in their notebooks. Others played the game Connect 3. In this game, students use their understanding of how to add and subtract integers to attempt to manipulate numbers rolled on a dice to get 3 in a row.
