Place a Folder on the Center of the Table to Block View of Partner S Paper

Integer Battleship

Procedures:

· Place a folder on the center of the table to block view of partner’s paper.

· Each person selects 5 locations for their ships.

· Taking turns, the player calls out a set of coordinates and mark the coordinates on their paper.

· The other play responds – hit or miss.

· If the play is a hit the player removes their chip (crosses out their ship). The other player marks an S on their paper to record their hit. If it is a miss the player records a dot on their paper.

· The first one to get all of their opponent’s ships wins.

Integer Playing Cards

Materials: 1 deck of playing cards with the Jokers removed

Procedure:

1. Each group member pulls two cards from the deck.

2. The red cards represent a negative number and the black cards represent a positive number. Face cards have a value of 10. Aces have a value of 1.

3. Each group member should write their integer problem using an addition sign and the two cards they drew.

4. Each group member should then write their integer problem using a subtraction sign and the two cards they drew.

5. The first card drawn should be written first in the problem.

6. Once all group members have answered both of their problems, each member draws two more cards and repeats the process.

7. Continue to draw cards until each person has answered 10 problems. (5 sets of cards should have been drawn by each person)

8. Once all group members have answered their problems, students should give their paper to their neighbor to check.
