This video is part of the Continue to Know with WHRO TV series. Watch Kathryn Turner teach about identifying integers and determining which integers would be used in real-life scenarios.

In this lesson plan, it provides students the opportunity to explore the rules of adding postive and negative integers using the online tool of Desmos. This is a lesson that encourages blended learning, class discussion, student discovery and provides multiple entry points for all students to actively participate.The plan includes the Desmos activity "Adding Integers" with the goal of creating two card groups with the same amount. The goal is to use the most cards to create equal groups. The level of difficulty increases with each new challenge. It begins using all positive integers then moves on to include negative integers. The lesson plan also includes suggestions on where to pause the activity to hold class discussions and another online tool to explore zero pairs using virtual integer chips. Suggested discussion questions are included to help lead students to the main idea if they are struggling. 

In this virtual scavenger hunt, students will simplify expressions, by using the order of operations, and rearrange cards so they are in the correct order.
