Introduction to Integers
Understanding positive and negative numbers, their representation on a number line, and real-world applications.
Key Questions
- Explain the concept of negative numbers in real-world contexts (e.g., temperature, debt).
- Compare the ordering of positive and negative numbers on a number line.
- Analyze why zero is neither positive nor negative.

5E Model
The 5E Model structures lessons through five phases (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate), guiding students from curiosity to deep understanding through inquiry-based learning.
unit plannerMath Unit
Plan a multi-week math unit with conceptual coherence: from building number sense and procedural fluency to applying skills in context and developing mathematical reasoning across a connected sequence of lessons.
rubricMath Rubric
Build a math rubric that assesses problem-solving, mathematical reasoning, and communication alongside procedural accuracy, giving students feedback on how they think, not just whether they got the right answer.
