Description: With these 12 cards, students practice adding integers with 2-color integer chips to help solidify the integer addition rules. The addition problem should first be modeled with the colored chips by dragging the correct amount of each color to the correct box. Then they should decide whether there are more positive or negative chips (or the same if the integers create a zero pair). Next they should determine whether they will actually be adding or subtracting the two values. Then they will enter the final answer, using the + or - buttons for the sign of the answer (do not enter the sign in the box). If the answer is zero, neither sign should be selected.
