This document outlines lessons on opposite quantities combining to make zero. It includes: - The aim and homework assignment for Lesson 1 - Instructions for a "Do Now" activity involving a Venn diagram - Explanations and examples of addition of positive and negative numbers, absolute value, and the additive inverse property - Rules for an integer card game to practice adding and discarding positive and negative numbers - An example of representing a negative number as a temperature change - A prompt for students to write a money-based word problem representing the expression 200 + (-200)

For all numbers a there is a number ­a, such that a + (­a) = 0
The additive inverse of a real number is the opposite of that number on
the real number line.
The opposite of 3 is ­3. 3 + (­3) = 0
The sum of any number and its opposite is equal to zero.

How to Play
The Integer Game is designed for 2 to 4 players. Students play the game with a learning partner or with a
cooperave learning group of students. Each player begins the game with a score of zero. The object of
the game is to return to a score of zero by picking up and discarding integer cards. The number of cards
dealt to each player can be adjusted based on students’ familiarity with an operaon and/or to
differenate for varying student ability levels. Below are the basic rules:
1.
A student serves as the dealer (as well as a player) and provides each player with 4 cards.
The dealer turns one more card face up on the playing surface, starng a discard pile. The remaining
cards become a draw pile.
2.
The player to the dealer’s le begins play. On his or her turn, a player may select the top card from
either the draw pile or the discard pile. The player must keep this card and discard another card from
their hand to the discard pile.
3.
A player’s goal is to have their hand’s total card value stay as close to zero as possible. So for each
turn, a player must determine how the card drawn affects their hand’s total card value, by counng up or
down accordingly. Also, a player must decide which card to discard, so as to keep the total value of their
hand as close to zero as possible. (See Scaffolding Ideas on page 16.)
4.
Play connues with the next player, in the same manner, unl all players have picked up and
discarded a card four mes.
5.
6.
The player(s) with a score of zero (or the closest to zero, as in Lesson 2) wins the round.
