Definitions:

Opposite Integers: An opposite integer is an integer that shares the same distance from 0 as its opposite.
Ex: -1 and 1 or -5 and 5 or -10000000 and 10000000
Absolute Value: The absolute value of a number is the distance that number has from 0. Note: if two numbers share the same absolute value, they will be opposite integers.
Ex: |5| = 5 or |-10| = 10

​Today's Goal:

​Today we are going to learn to identify and use opposite integers. We will do this using number lines, counters and common sense.

​Ex: Use counters to find the opposite integer of 3.

​Ex: Use a number line to find the opposite integer of -7.

​Quantities combining to make zero:

1. ​Mr. Carbone has $5 in his pocket and spent $5. How much money does he have left?

2. Mr. Carbone is bad at keeping friends. Last year he made 4 friends and lost 4 friends. What was his net change in friends.

3. Class Example?

4. Pair and share:
