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.
