Day 16 Battle of the Integers #teach180

9/30/2015

A perennial favourite around these parts is my war with of integers. It has been well liked by many students and teachers, and I just love how many goals it hits. It has students doing math before they are learning rules. It gives a strong visual, and breaks down a moderately abstract concept, into clear, decipherable components. It nixes tricks, and instead provides a strong conceptual basis for how integers work. I want to move from it at some point, but I am stuck because it works so well. But like so many things, when it becomes to easy it becomes boring. I think that for this year I am going to incorporate some Malcom Swan style tasks that I learned from the incomporable Cheese Monkey at TMC15.
