INTEGER PRACTICE

Today in class we began working with integers to get everyone ready for 7th grade. Students were introduced to the many ways to solve integer problems. 

We worked with the rules today for addition
 **When the signs are the same you add and keep the sign from the problem
 **When the signs are different you subtract and keep the sign of the larger number

With subtraction problems you must first add the opposite. Change the subtraction sign to a plus and switch the 2nd number to its opposite. 

Here is the homework for tonight 1-15
