What happens when you add a positive and a negative number? How about, when you subtract  two negative numbers? A Positive times a negative is what?  Seventh graders are discovering this and much more, as they dive into the world of integers! 

Students will make connections into the real world of finance and banking and understand what a withdrawal and deposit is.  They will be using integers to balance a checkbook and staying on a budget.

But it all begins by playing with these red and yellow counters to understand how positive and negative numbers affect each other!
