Introduction
What is an opposite? How do you find the absolute value of a number? Are there any shortcuts for adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing integers? What exactly is an integer, and what does it have to do with the REAL world anyway?
Over the next couple weeks, you will explore integers and investigate the questions above while completing various integer problems. By the end of these lessons, you will have recorded relevant rules and definitions of integers, practiced operating integers, and prepared to discuss integers with your classmates.

Evaluation
When you have completed steps 1-5 of the process, review your notes
to make sure that you followed directions correctly and recorded the information
clearly. If you have any questions about integers, talk to your teacher! You
will be asked to present some of this information to your classmates aloud
before you use it to study for the unit test.
