• Students have been working on Lesson 3 this week- Add and Subtract Positive and Negative Integers. They continue to rewrite subtraction problems as addition problems by adding the opposite. We have been using the saying, “Keep-Change-Change” or “Keep-Change-Opposite”. Students have been using number line models, the integer chip model, and many students have already memorized the rules for adding and subtracting integers. 

• Students have had about 2 1/2 class periods to complete their “Math Menu” of tasks related to the lesson. However, if anyone did not finish it in class they should finish it over the weekend.

• Lesson 3 QUIZ on Monday

Homework
1) Finish Math Menu
2) Review Lesson 3 pages in the Instruction Book and/or Practice & Problem Solving Book to prepare for the quiz.

Important Dates:
Friday, October 11 — 1/2 Day of School (11:05AM dismissal)
