Practice Test Problems

-3 + +4 =

+6 + -7 =

-6 - +5 =

+4 - +8 =

-5 X +9 =

+3 X -8=

We Will Be Going To The Book Fair Friday Morning From 10:30am to 11:00am

homework/ Test Thurs.

Please finish the class assignment for homework tonight.

Page 423 4-9(story, cauldron, and answer for each)  Page 224 30-35 and 42-46.

Page 427 1-4 (story, cauldron, and answer for each)

and...   -6 X +4= -7 X +7= +3 X -5= +8 X -2=  write a story and cauldron for each.

Test Thurs. and Chef's Hot and Cold Cubes Story is on my web site for you to have for the test

As you know from our discussions last week in school we will have a integer test on Thurs. You will need to know the following:

Absolute Value: Distance from zero

Opposites: The opposite of +3 is -3

How to add, subtract and multiple integers.

Make sure to be able to write a story about the hot and cold cubes as well as draw the cauldron. This will help you to solve.

For subtraction you could also use this reasoning if you did not want to draw the cauldron;

-3 - +2= The temp. starts out at negative 3 and since we are taking out (because of subtraction) two hot cubes the temp. will get colder by 2 degrees. Since the temp. was -3 to start, it must now be -5.

Test Thurs.

homework

Please make up 3 multiplication integer problems.  For each one do the following:=

2) Draw a cauldron

3) solve the problem

You could do these if you are having a hard time thinking up problems on your own.

-3 X +5 =

+5 X -4 =

-3 X-7 =

For those of you who were not here I am going to try to post the story on my blog when I get home around 6:30 tonight.

Parents

There is a conference schedule for your conference time on my website. I look forward to meeting with you and talking about all the progress your child has made so far this year!

optional problems

Hope you are having a great weekend. We will have a test on integers on Thurs.

Here are some practice problems.

For the following write a story with hot and cold cubes. Make a cauldron and solve. Make sure to read the story first that is on my web page as an attachment.

1) -5 + +3 =

2) +7 + -5=

3) -2 - +4 =

4) +9 - +2 =

homework

For those of you who are out of town or in town, I have attached the hot and cold cube portion of the story that I read to you today, as well as, the part that I will read to you tomorrow. I think it would be a good idea if you have a chance to read it over between now and Monday.

I am thinking that we will have a test/quiz on integers either Thursday or Friday of next week.

I am leaning more toward Thurs. since it is grandparents day on Friday. We can discuss this in class tomorrow.

Draw an open array and then show how you broke up the problem.

Next write the problem mathematically showing how the d. property works.

For example: 23 X45 = (20 + 3) (40 +5) = (20 X 40) +(20 X 5) + (3 X 40) +(3 X 5)=1,035
