INTRODUCTION TO INTEGERS • We can represent integers using red and yellow counters. • Red tiles will represent negative integers, and yellow tiles will represent positive integers. Positive integer Negative integer
INTRODUCTION TO INTEGERS • The diagrams below show 2 ways to represent -3. • Represent -3 in 2 more ways. -3 -3
INTRODUCTION TO INTEGERS • Students may represent -3 by using 3 red tiles and any number of groups of +1 and -1 tiles
INTRODUCTION TO INTEGERS • Tell which integer each group of tiles represents. +1 -2 +2
INTRODUCTION TO INTEGERS • If there are the same number of red tiles as yellow tiles, what number is represented? • It represents 0.
