This is my first time linking up with Deb at Crafting Connections for her Anchors Away Monday.
Last week I started a new chapter on Addition and Subtraction with Rational Numbers. The first lesson we did was using a number line to model addition of integers. My students did not remember absolute value from 6th grade at all so I ended up making this anchor chart for students to refer to. They need to understand absolute value as they create a rule for addition of integers. Not too shabby for my first anchor chart. Hopefully I will have many more to share with you this year.

Thanks. I started making similar charts this year for my low 7th grade math class when it dawned on me that their own notes were not helping them. I didn't know until today they had a name. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed that this is your first ever anchor chart!! It looks great! I actually wish a math teacher would have made an anchor chart like this when I was in 7th grade, because it makes total sense to me! :) Thank you for linking up!
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to point out that absolute value isn't "always positive," because the absolute value of zero is zero. "Never negative" might be better.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I will change that.
