Common Core Standards:

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.NS.C.5: Understand that positive and negative numbers are used together to describe quantities having opposite directions or values (e.g., temperature above/below zero, elevation above/below sea level, credits/debits, positive/negative electric charge); use positive and negative numbers to represent quantities in real-world contexts, explaining the meaning of 0 in each situation.

Targeted Needs of Student:

Working with integers, understanding operations with integers, providing examples to reference, easy way to connect all of the operations to integers

Goal:

To provide students with a reference to use when performing operations involving integers

Materials Needed:

1.      Paper

2.      Writing utensils

3.      Scissors

Explanation/Summary:

Students will take a paper and fold the outsides in to make a door fold. Then they will cut the “doors” in half to make four separate flaps. Each flap will be for a different operation (multiplication, division, subtraction, and addition). Inside the flaps they will have examples and then explanations of what to do with same signs and different signs.
