Adding & Subtracting Integers PARTNER PRACTICE & MAZE ACTIVITIES

This resource was developed to PARTIALLY meet the requirements of the 7th Grade Number Systems Standards below.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.7.NS.A.1
Apply and extend previous understandings of addition and subtraction to add and subtract rational numbers; represent addition and subtraction on a horizontal or vertical number line diagram.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.7.NS.A.1.A
Describe situations in which opposite quantities combine to make 0. For example, a hydrogen atom has 0 charge because its two constituents are oppositely charged.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.7.NS.A.1.B
Understand p + q as the number located a distance |q| from p, in the positive or negative direction depending on whether q is positive or negative. Show that a number and its opposite have a sum of 0 (are additive inverses). Interpret sums of rational numbers by describing real-world contexts.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.7.NS.A.1.C
Understand subtraction of rational numbers as adding the additive inverse, p - q = p + (-q). Show that the distance between two rational numbers on the number line is the absolute value of their difference, and apply this principle in real-world contexts*

This resource contains the following items:

1) Adding & Subtracting Integers 24 Question PARTNER PRACTICE (48 questions total)

· Questions on Form A are different than Form B

· Answers are the same (GREAT for self-checking & error analysis)

· All questions require simplifying double signs before evaluating

· A vertical number line is included on each form for reference

· Choose to give the separate forms to partners, or have each student complete both parts. In either scenario, they can check to make sure they are getting matching answers.
