November 2011 - the PDF version of this book is now enabled for annotation! Math Mammoth Integers worktext covers all important integer (signed numbers) topics for middle school (grades 5-8), with instructions written directly to the student. Thus, it requires very little teacher or parent involvement. The first topic in the book is integers themselves, presented on a number line (negative and positive numbers) and tied in with temperature. Next we move on to modeling additions and subtractions as movements on a number line. Another model used in the book for addition is that of counters or chips. One lesson explains the shortcut for subtracting a negative integer using three different viewpoints (difference, counters, and number line movements). There is also a roundup lesson for addition and subtraction of integers. Multiplication and division of integers is explained using counters, first of all, and then relying on the properties of multiplication and division. We use multiplication and division in the context of enlarging or shrinking geometric figures in the coordinate grid. These lessons also include a few simple equations, problems with several operations, and fun riddles. The last section of lessons in this book deals with the coordinate grid. Students move geometric figures up, down, to the right, and left. They reflect figures in the x-axis and in the y-axis. Lastly, students graph simple linear functions, first using a range of integer values only, and then without such limitation. The book ends with two review lessons.
