Understanding integers and operations involving integers is a building block to successful calculations in Algebra. In this module you will review, then practice and demonstrate the rules of operations for integers using both a manipulatives and a number line.  You will also begin to examine the concept of number sense and explore what number sense means to you. With your classmates, you will also discuss the importance of teaching the meaning as well as the method of Mathematics (computations).

At the completion of this Module, you will be able to:

• Define “number sense”
• Evaluate own mastery of “number sense”
• Explain the main properties and rules of integers
• Start your own electronic journal or blog
