1. Adding Integers
Welcome to the world of integers!

2. 1 -1 Let’s review Think of each Yellow Chip as positive 1
Think of each Red Chip as negative 1 1 -1

3. Now it’s your turn. 1.) Which color chip represents NEGATIVE one?
a.) b.)

4. Think of each yellow Chip as positive 1
= 3 1 1

5. Great Job! Next Question
2.) How much is represented in the picture?
a.) 6 b.)
c.) -5 d.)

6. = + Nothin’ Each red chip cancels out a yellow chip
Think of it like money. A yellow chip is money you earn (like allowance) and a red chip is money you spend (on Doritos)
Nothin’
(You spent all your money on Doritos) + =

7. Adding with Color Counters
Think of each Green Chip as positive 1
Think of each Red Chip as negative 1 1 -1

8. Consider the following problem:
“I owe my mother $5, but I earned $3 today, do I still owe my mother any money? Use your chips to determine the answer. Also write an equation to represent the situation.”

9. + = + = -5 3 -2

10. Represent the following problem on your mat, then solve-4 + 2 = + =

11. + = -4 -2 + 2 = , Each red cancels out a yellow. (Zero Pairs)
Only two yellow are left + = -4 -2 + 2 =

12. Your Turn With a partner, try to solve the given problems using the integer mat.
