c) -5 – (-11) = 6
d) 5 – 11 = -6
e) 5 – (-11) = 16
f) -5 – 11 – 16
g) -5 + 11 = 6
Questions
- Explain which statements are equivalent and why. Statements A and E, are equivalent because on E they just have two negatives touching, resulting in a positive number.
- What did you learn by completing this activity? I learned how to use markers to answer integer problems.
3. What do students need to know about adding and subtracting integers? If there are ever two negatives touching it results in a positive number.
