ADDING INTEGERS - BEANBOOZLED STYLE

Yesterday I kept telling them about the importance of the Additive Inverse and how it could help them. I also mentioned "Decomposing Numbers" because sometimes students do not realize they can quickly breakdown a number to make the math easier in their heads.
I kept saying "Is the number hidden in there"
Today was amazing....I absolutely love to keep the kiddos engaged and loving what they are doing. Not one kid was unwilling to participate today (nervous, LOL)
I bought multiple packages of Beanboozled 5th Edition. Students paired up and were randomly selected by the Smart Seat App. They then each chose a jelly bean. Each jelly bean was pictured on the board with a number value I assigned. Everyone would write the numbers based on their selections and then when they tasted the jelly bean would we know if it was going to be a positive integer or a negative. We had a great time, many photos and videos.

DECIMALS MEET INTEGER RULES = WHOA!!!!!!

We are combining our knowledge of integers and decimals and it is proving to me quite a challenge.  To continue working on this skill we worked on a Halloween themed coloring sheet with about 18 problems.  Below is the “cheat sheet” I posted for the class about integer rules.  We will continue working on this skill for the remainder of the week. 

PRODIGY ASSIGNMENT

Students have an assignment to begin that combines their knowledge of integer rules and decimals. At first I know they will be less than excited but I have faith they'll do fine. All students know their Prodigy log ins, they should be written in their agendas. However, if they get home without it, please feel free to email me and I can get you that information quickly.
