Multiplication, Division, Addtion & Subtraction OF Integers Using Algebra Tiles

The document provides instructions for using algebra tiles to model integer operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division in a visual way by representing positive and negative numbers as colored tiles. It includes examples of using the tiles to work through problems for each operation and shows how the tiles can be manipulated to arrive at solutions. The goal is to help students develop a better conceptual understanding of integer operations that are traditionally taught symbolically.

• Manipulatives used to enhance learner
understanding of concepts traditionally taught at
symbolic level.
•Provide access to symbol manipulation for learners
with weak number sense.
•Provide geometric interpretation of symbol
manipulation.
•Support cooperative learning, improve discourse in
classroom by giving the learners objects to think
with and talk about.
When I listen, I hear.

When I see, I remember.

But when I do, I understand.


•Algebra tile can be used to model operations
involving integers.
•Let the small yellow square represent +1 and the
small red (the flip side side) represent -1.

•The yellow and red squares are additive inverse of


each other.
•Algebra tiles can be used to model operations
involving variables.
•Let the green rectangle represent + 1x or x and the
red rectangle (the flip side) represent -1x or –x.

• The green and red rods are additive inverses of each


other.
•Let the blue square represent x². The red square
represents -x².
•As with integers, the red shapes and their
corresponding flip-sides form a zero pair.
Zero Pairs
•Called zero pairs because they are additive inverses
of each other.
•When put together, they model zero.
•Don’t use “cancel out” for zeroes use zero pairs or
add up to zero.
ADDITION OF INTEGERS

Addition can be viewed as “combining”.


Combining involves the forming and
removing of all zero pairs.
For each of the given examples, use algebra
tiles to model the addition.
Draw pictorial diagrams which show the
modeling.
Write the manipulation performed.
ADDITION OF INTEGERS

(+3) +(+1)=

oCombined like objects to get four positives.

(-2) + (-1) =

oCombined like objects to get three negatives.


ADDITION OF INTEGERS

(+3) +(-1)=

oMake zeroes to get two positives

(+3) + (-4) =

oMake three zeroes to get one negative


ADDITION OF INTEGERS

(+3) + (+2)= + = +5

Adding positive integers yields another positive integer.

(-2) + (-1)= + = -3

Adding negative integers yields another positive integer.


ADDITION OF INTEGERS

Activity 1. Solve the following using algebra tiles.

1. (+4)+(-3)
2. (-3)+(+1)
3. (-2)+(+2)
4. (+3)+(-4)
5. (-5)+(2)
SIGNED NUMBERS: Integer Addition

Answer:

1. + = = +1

2. + + = = -2

3. + = 0

4. + = = -1

5. + = + = = -3
SUBTRACTION OF INTEGERS

Subtraction can be interpreted as


“ take away.”
Subtraction can also be thought of as
“adding the opposite
For each of the given examples, use
algebra tiles to model the subtraction
Write a description of the action taken
SUBTRACTION OF INTEGERS

(+5) -(+2)=+3
oTake away two positives
oTo get three positives

(-4) - (-3) =-1


oTake away three negatives
oTo get one negative

SUBTRACTION OF INTEGERS

Answer:

1. - + = +5

2. - + = -5

3. - - + + = -5

4. - +9

+ =

5. - + = -5
MULTIPLICAION OF INTEGERS
MULTIPLICAION OF INTEGERS

Use the concept that the “multiplier” will be “ counting” for us the
number of sets we need. If the “multiplier” is positive, we know the
number of rows to draw and we will be done.

(+3) x ((+4) = =12


3 rows of
positive 4’s

(+2) x (-3) = =-5


3 rows of
positive 4’s
