So, Today in math we had a 10-15 minute integer test by the time the test was done and over with Mr Harbeck gave us a "green" booklet, and just told us to forget about the "yellow" booklet for now. Inside of the "green" booklet there is integer questions some with brackets: example: 11 - (8)= 3 aka.. ( ) Training Wheels, and some without the brackets. Also in class we were doing the integers in standard form which means (NO MORE TRAINING PANTS!!). (:
in standard form all we do is "combine integers"
like this (:

Correct Question: -4 -3= -7
Wrong Question: -4 - (-3)=7

7-(-12)+5(-2)
* make it into a addition question.
7+(+12)+5(+2)
here's a example :

okay well that's my scribe , oh and if I made a mistake well then I'm sorry (:
Well done, Courtney. The colourful squares on your scribe really helped me. It really helped me understand intergers in standard form. Thanks ! :)
