Working on a number line, students find a way to express the addition of two integers as the addition of a single integer. The fourth of 28 Early Algebra lessons developed as part of a research project, this site is a sequel to Number Line Dances and focuses on addition of integers.

Working on a number line, students find a way to express the addition of two integers as the addition of a single integer. The fourth of 28 Early Algebra lessons developed as part of a research project, this site is a sequel to Number Line Dances and focuses on addition of integers. Each lesson in the series includes a synopsis, step-by-step procedures, and downloadable overheads and handouts. The Early Algebra lessons cover many topics in arithmetic in novel ways that lead students into algebraic thinking. (author/sw)
